HUNTINGTON, W.VA.- A 36-year-old Honduran national, illegally residing in the Southern District of West Virginia, found out that he will now be turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after pleading guilty and being sentenced for being illegally in the United States.

     According to Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa G. Johnston, on Thursday, June 5, 2025, Wilson Geovanny Nunez, also known as “Wilson Nunez,” 36, of Honduras, illegally residing in the Hurricane, West Virginia, area, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia and pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Robert C.
