The Ithaca man who was arrested by federal immigration agents in May will not be sentenced to additional time for having a fake green card, paving the way for his immigration case to proceed.
New court documents also shed light on the man’s life in Mexico, where he was shot twice, and his “treacherous” journey to the United States more than a decade ago.
José Guzman-Lopez pleaded guilty to possessing a counterfeit document, a federal crime, and is awaiting his sentencing, after which he still will be facing deportation.
A federal judge ordered that José Guzman-Lopez be remanded to a county Jail while the government prosecutes him for allegedly violating federal law by possessing a counterfeit green card.
