A Guatemalan man, who pleaded guilty to crossing into the U.S. from Canada, has been placed in removal proceedings. He faces prison time, a fine, and deportation.
According to the U.S. District Court, 24-year old Henry Giovanny Paiz-Morales of Guatemala pleaded guilty and was sentenced by U.S. Magistrate Judge John C. Nivison to time served (five days).
