At the guilty plea, Alvarez-Victoriano admitted that on September 11, 2012, he used someone else’s name and social security number on employment forms and state and federal tax forms when applying for work in Waukon, Iowa. Alvarez-Victoriano was convicted in 2016 of possession of methamphetamine and introducing a controlled substance into a jail and placed on probation. Alvarez-Victoriano’s whereabouts were unknown to immigration officials until his arrest and sentencing in February 2019 for violating his state probation.

Alvarez-Victoriano was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams. Alvarez-Victoriano was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment. He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system. Alvarez-Victoriano is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be returned to state prison where he is serving a five-year sentence on an Iowa drug felony conviction.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel C. Tvedt and investigated by Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations.
