A Dominican national who has been in the United State illegally for about six years pled guilty in U.S. District Court last week to misrepresenting a social security number and and falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen while attempting to get a New Hampshire driver’s license.
Alberto Martinez, of the Dominican Republic, pled guilty to the counts in court on March 3, 2016.
According to U.S. Attorney Emily Gray Rice, in November 2015, a New Hampshire State Trooper requested assistance from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE-ERO) in identifying an individual who was attempting to renew a New Hampshire driver’s license at the Salem NH DMV.
Initially, Martinez claimed to be a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico. He had filled out and signed a renewal application on which he had entered a Social Security number which had not been assigned to him and had answered “yes” to the question “Are you a United States citizen?” Martinez was identifying himself as “Jose Juan Colon Nieves” of Manchester.
According to troopers, Martinez also allegedly had another fake license under the name of “Hector Manuel Adorno Barroso,” 46, of Hazelton, PA.
