A federal jury Friday convicted a 64-year-old man of acquiring the identity of an American citizen in the early 1990s, using it to get a passport and vote in federal elections, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of California.

Prosecutors said Gustavo Araujo Lerma was born in Mexico in 1955, but was living in Sacramento as an undocumented resident. He began going by Hiram Velez when he obtained the identity of an American man by that name, according to the office of U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott.

Lerma insisted he was born as Velez in the U.S. and testified he was a fan of President Trump, according to one report.

He was convicted of one count of aggravated identity theft, one count of passport fraud and five counts of voting by an alien. He is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 26 in federal court in Sacramento.
