Adame-Nunez Guilty

A Mexican national, Jesus Adame-Nunez, 43, has pleaded guilty to an immigration violation in the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs. Adame-Nunez, who was illegally residing in Beaumont, pleaded guilty to illegal reentry by a previously deported person before U.S. Magistrate Judge Zack Hawthorn on July 10, 2025.

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 prior deportation made his reentry into the country a federal offense, landing him in hot water with the law.

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 case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).

The investigation into Adame-Nunez was conducted by the Department of Homeland Security-Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with prosecution handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Jackson. The successful prosecution of this case demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement agencies to enforcing immigration laws and protecting national security.

The guilty plea of Jesus Adame-Nunez serves as a reminder that immigration violations will not be taken lightly by the U.S. justice system. As the country continues to grapple with the complex issues surrounding immigration, cases like this one highlight the importance of upholding the law and ensuring that those who break it are held accountable. The outcome of this case will be closely watched, and its implications will likely be felt far beyond the borders of Texas.
