Deported man to be sentenced for illegal reentry

A CITIZEN of Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia will be deported for the second time when the District Court of Guam sentenced him for reentering the U.S. territory illegally.
Kitamichy Williander, 37, was ordered removed from Guam on Oct. 16, 2001 and was deported on Feb. 27, 2001 after he was convicted of aggravated assault in the Superior Court of Guam on Oct. 17, 2000.
With his aggravated felony conviction, Williander is not allowed to reenter the United States without receiving the consent of the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Williander was indicted on illegal reentry charges on Jan. 24, 2007 and was arrested two days later.
The maximum sentence for illegal reentry subsequent to a conviction for an aggravated felony is 20 years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.
Williander entered a plea agreement to avoid the maximum sentence but he is guaranteed that he will be deported again to the FSM.
As this developed, another removed alien, who was indicted for illegal reentry, was given a counsel from a federal public defender.
Young Taek Lee, who was deported on March 29, 2005 in New York, was rearrested on Nov. 22, 2006 in Guam.
Lee had not received the consent of the attorney general of the United States to reenter the U.S.
