Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said that a Honduran national responsible for multiple violent — and sometimes "sadistic" — home invasions in Texas was sentenced to 29 years in a U.S. prison.
Denis Matute, a non-U.S. citizen who was illegally residing in the Houston area, was sentenced on Aug. 16 by U.S. Circuit Judge Gregg Costa to a 108-month term of imprisonment for two counts of interference with commerce by robbery, as well as an additional 120 months for each of two counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.
Matute will not face removal proceedings until after his lengthy total 348-month total prison term, meaning more than two decades might go by before he is deported. The 27-year-old had already pleaded guilty on Nov. 2, 2021.
"At the hearing, the court heard evidence of the underlying offenses as well as the details surrounding three additional murders and two home invasions Matute had committed," the Justice Department said in a press release.
