Herrera's use as a plot device has been criticized as of late, as it seems that if anything mysterious or bad happens in Oakdale, more likely than not, James Stenbeck did it, necessitating the return of Herrera and his character.

Anthony Hernandez-Herrera ("Herrera") appeals his conviction for being a deported alien "found in" the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. Herrera also appeals pre-trial, jury selection, evidentiary rulings, and the sentence imposed.

Herrera asserts that the district court improperly enhanced his sentence based on a prior conviction that was not charged in the indictment or proven to the jury.
