BOSTON – A Dominican national unlawfully residing in Lynn, Mass. was sentenced yesterday in federal court in Boston for illegally reentering the United States after deportation.
Yodenny Michael Baez-Cabrera, 42, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Myong J. Joun to 23 months in prison, to be followed by one year of supervised release.

In 2015, Baez-Cabrera was convicted of felony assault with a dangerous weapon and witness intimidation in Peabody District Court.
