Twenty-three individuals have been charged with illegal reentry into the United States after prior deportation in Oklahoma City, OK. The defendants, including Alvaro Grimaldo-Luna, Genaro Jimenez-Perez, and Franklin Reyes-Gomez, were arrested over the past two months in various locations across Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City, Lincoln County, and Blaine County. The charges are part of the Department of Justice’s ongoing efforts to enforce federal immigration laws and identify individuals who unlawfully return to the US after being previously removed. The arrests were made between March 4, 2026, and June 28, 2026.
The defendants, all of whom are foreign nationals, were previously deported from the US, with some having been deported multiple times. Genaro Jimenez-Perez, for example, was previously deported four times: in 2017, 2011, 2009, and 2008. The charges against the defendants are the result of a federal grand jury in Oklahoma City and are being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma.
The US Attorney’s Office has charged the defendants with illegal reentry into the US, a crime that carries significant penalties. The enforcement effort is part of a broader initiative to crack down on immigration-related crimes and to ensure that individuals who are deported from the US do not return unlawfully.
The cases against the defendants are ongoing, and the US Attorney’s Office is working closely with federal law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute immigration-related crimes in Oklahoma. The charges against the 23 defendants demonstrate the commitment of federal law enforcement to enforcing immigration laws and protecting national security.
