Yes there is a distinct possibility that he could do fed time and state time. If he was picked up for missing a sentencing that is not good and might make the judge angry when he is sentenced. The federal case of smuggling illegals is a serious charge that will likely cost him 5-10 years depending upon the particulars. If he is lucky, they will run the sentences "concurrent" which means they will happen at the same time.
