Jesus Adame-Nunez Guilty

Jesús Adame-Nunez, a 43-year-old Mexican national, has pleaded guilty to an immigration violation in the Eastern District of Texas. This guilty plea is the result of a thorough investigation and marks a significant step in the pursuit of justice for immigration-related crimes.

According to information presented in court, Adame-Nunez was arrested in Beaumont on February 11, 2025, after an investigation revealed that he had been previously deported from the United States to Mexico in 2006. This deportation was a clear indication that Adame-Nunez was aware of his unlawful status in the country.

Adame-Nunez pleaded guilty to illegal reentry by a previously deported person before U.S. Magistrate Judge Zack Hawthorn on July 10, 2025. This charge carries significant weight, as it demonstrates a blatant disregard for the law and a willingness to circumvent the immigration process.

The case against Adame-Nunez is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration and transnational criminal organizations. This operation streamlines efforts and resources from the Department of Justice to protect communities from violent crime and achieve the elimination of cartels and other criminal organizations.

As a result of his guilty plea, Adame-Nunez faces up to 2 years in federal prison and deportation at sentencing. The maximum statutory sentence prescribed by Congress is provided here for information purposes, as the sentencing will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.

A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the U.S. Probation Office. This investigation will provide the court with a comprehensive understanding of Adame-Nunez’s background and any mitigating or aggravating factors that may impact his sentence.

The investigation into Adame-Nunez’s activities was conducted by the Department of Homeland Security-Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with prosecution handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Jackson. The successful outcome of this case is a testament to the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies and the Department of Justice in combating immigration-related crimes.
