(CMC) — A Jamaica woman was sentenced in federal court earlier this week for illegally re-entering the United States after deportation.
When Tanya James, 53, appeared in court on Wednesday, she was sentenced to six months in prison.
In July, James pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful re-entry of a deported alien. She was indicted by a federal grand jury in June.
In 2003, she was convicted of possession of cocaine base with intent to distribute and distribution of cocaine base.
She was ordered removed from the US and deported to Jamaica in 2004.
In 2011, James was again ordered removed from the US and deported to Jamaica in 2012. However, she re-entered the country, and in March last year, James was charged with motor vehicle offences.
On or about May 12 this year, she was taken into custody by immigration officials after she was found to be in the United States without having received permission to re-enter.

Here she comes to Antigua to get her Antigua passport from them foolie politicians who will be singing our Caribbean brothers and sisters so that they can get the votes.
Unlike the antigua politicians trump love america, good work trump you are doing what the nationalist vote ordered you to do, I wish our Antiguan people could be nationalist.
Jamaicans are a skillful and talented people. You deport them from the US and you can bet your life that they would find the tunnel that leads them back to the US. They are great at making a way where there is no way. After serving her 6 month sentence she would be deported to Kingston. You can bet that she would be back in the US before 2026 ends.
How this is Antigua News?stupes🙄🙄
JimJones, it is news period. Here we allow people to as they please and after a few months or years we grant amnesty by way of reward, we are a backward set of people. The law is the law snd it should be obeyed. Full stop, don’t tell me you are as idiotic as your American namesske
You cannot break the law of a country and be rewarded, things like that only happen here with these men we put in high office, the only thing they care about is you are voting for them, to hell with everything else
Where is the lie they always find a wayvto come back, even by a change of name.
@Audley Phillip, skill and talent that leads me straight to jail I definitely don’t want.
Someone ask why is this Antigua news,because she will be coming to Antigua to regain entry back to US.
