A Mexican national has been sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison for his role in an organization that produced fake identification cards for illegal immigrants.
Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that 22-year-old Ismael Kevin Quintana-Ramirez was sentenced this week in U.S. District Court in Richmond. He pleaded guilty in June to a racketeering conspiracy charge.
An indictment says the organization operated 19 cells in 11 states. Quintana-Ramirez was the supervisor for the group’s cell in Fairdale, Ky.
Prosecutors say 22 defendants in the case have pleaded guilty so far.
Quintana-Ramirez will be deported upon completion of his sentence.

TWO suspected illegal immigrants were arrested in raids by the UK Border Agency on two businesses in Henley.
A 20-year-old Vietnamese man was held when officers visited Henley Nails and Brows in Market Place.
The business could be fined up to £10,000 unless it can prove it carried out right-to-work checks on the man.
A 21-year-old Brazilian man was arrested at the Loch Fyne restaurant, also in Market Place.
He is alleged to have used counterfeit Portuguese identity documents to obtain work after overstaying his visa.
Both men are awaiting deportation following the raids on Tuesday last week.
