Salvadoran Child Molester in North Carolina Denaturalized and Ordered Deported

A federal judge sentenced Isidro Arcenio Alvarado, 58, a native of El Salvador, to active prison time after he pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship. The judge also revoked his citizenship and ordered him removed from the United States.

Alvarado, a convicted child molester, had been living in North Carolina. The case involved his illegal acquisition of citizenship, which he obtained through fraudulent means.

The court's decision ensures that Alvarado will face deportation following his prison sentence. The revocation of his citizenship nullifies his status as a U.S. citizen.

The sentencing and denaturalization mark the conclusion of legal proceedings against Alvarado, who was found to have committed serious crimes against a child.
