     Following entering his guilty plea, Judge Burroughs accepted the plea and scheduled sentencing for June 3, 2025. At that time, Aguasvivas-Martinez faces up to 24 months in federal prison, one year of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. At sentencing, a U.S. District Court will determine the term of imprisonment based on the seriousness of the offense and Aguasvivas-Martinez’s prior criminal history. 

     Upon completion of any sentence imposed, Aguasvivas-Martinez will face immediate deportation proceedings and be removed from the country.
