Immigrant sentenced to time served after judge allegedly helped him dodge ICE agents

Eduardo Flores-Ruiz pleaded guilty to illegally re-entering US and will soon be deported, his attorney says

An immigrant who was arrested after a judge in Wisconsin allegedly helped him dodge federal agents has been sentenced to time served for illegally re-entering the United States and will soon be deported, according to his attorney.

Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, 31, has spent nearly seven months in jail since he was arrested outside the Milwaukee county courthouse. He pleaded guilty in September to illegally re-entering the country after he reached a deal with prosecutors to not fight deportation. Prosecutors in exchange agreed to recommend a time-served sentence.
