Eyong and his attorney, a Washington-based public defender, could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening.
Officials from the federal prosecutor's office said Eyong had been freed on his own recognizance until his sentencing, which is set for Friday. The matter will then be turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation proceedings.
