Obama Judge Refuses to Give More Jail Time to Illegal Alien Who Raped Woman with Cerebral Palsy

A federal judge, appointed by former President Barack Obama, is refusing to add additional prison time to the criminal sentence imposed on a seven-time deported illegal alien convicted of raping and sodomizing a woman with cerebral palsy for his repeated violation of federal immigration law.

U.S. District Judge Judith Levy, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in 2014 by Obama, recently ensured that Edys Renan Memberno Diaz, a 30-year-old illegal alien from Honduras, would not have to spend an additional 19 months in prison for violating federal immigration law — a standard sentence for an illegal alien who has been deported from the United States seven times.

Diaz first crossed the southern border in 2019 near El Centro, California, as detailed by Detroit NewsIt’s Robert Snell. From there, Diaz was arrested by federal agents and deported from the United States seven times before returning again, this time to Michigan.

In 2022, Diaz was arrested and later pleaded guilty to raping and sodomizing a woman with cerebral palsy and other disabilities in her apartment building. That year, Diaz was sentenced to six to 15 years in prison in Michigan.

Earlier this year, Diaz pleaded guilty to illegally re-entering the United States multiple times after being deported.

Although prosecutors have said a 19-month sentence is generally the appropriate sentence for repeated illegal reentries, Judge Levy disagreed during recent hearings, ultimately refusing to give Diaz a longer prison term than he has already spent in federal custody.
