A violent criminal illegal immigrant previously deported six times from the U.S. was sent back to Honduras for a seventh time, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Tuesday.

ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations unit in Boston said it deported Julio Cesar Hernandez Funez, 41, on Nov. 18 to Honduras, where he was wanted on a drug trafficking charge. Hernandez, who also is known as Rodas and Flores Najera, unlawfully entered the U.S. in 2006, 2013, 2014, twice in 2015, once in 2016, and once this year.

ICE said he was convicted of five felonies in the U.S.: disorderly conduct in 2004, assault and battery and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in 2005, entry without inspection in 2012, and driving while intoxicated in 2014. In 2022, Honduran officials convicted him of illicit trafficking of drugs and sentenced him to four years and six months in prison. Hernandez fled the country before serving his sentence and attempted to enter the U.S. this year by crossing the U.S.-Canadian border into Vermont.
