Alvaro Mandujano-Rodriguez, Illegal Reentry, Firearms Possession, Kentucky 2025

Illegal Alien Sentenced to 2 Years and 2 Months in Federal Prison for Unlawful Reentry into the United States and Possession of Firearms

Louisville, KY – A brazen illegal alien, Alvaro Mandujano-Rodriguez, has been brought to justice for his heinous crimes. On July 31, 2025, Mandujano-Rodriguez was sentenced to 2 years and 2 months in federal prison for unlawful reentry into the United States and possession of firearms.

According to court documents, 32-year-old Mandujano-Rodriguez, a citizen of Mexico, had been previously denied admission, excluded, deported, and removed from the United States on November 29, 2013. However, he made the egregious mistake of returning to the country, only to be found in possession of two firearms – an AR-15 rifle of an unknown make and model, and a MAG Tactical Systems MG-G4, multi-caliber rifle, and ammunition. This blatant disregard for U.S. laws is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by those who seek to exploit our nation’s generosity.

The investigation was a collaborative effort between HSI, ATF, and LMPD. ‘Thanks to the strong work of this federal-local partnership, another dangerous illegal immigrant has been removed from the streets of Louisville,’ said U.S. Attorney Kyle Bumgarner. The conviction is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the justice system 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.

This case is also part of the Prohibited Firearm Possessor Initiative (PFP), a collaborative partnership between all levels of law enforcement and prosecutors to reduce violent crime and firearm offenses. On January 23, 2024, Louisville Metro initiated a gun crime reduction initiative focused on investigating and prosecuting illegal firearm possession. The PFP partners include the Louisville Metro Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office, the Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Mac Shannon prosecuted the case, bringing swift justice to those responsible for these heinous crimes. Mandujano-Rodriguez’s conviction serves as a stark warning to those who seek to exploit our nation’s generosity, and we will continue to work tirelessly to protect our communities from the scourge of crime.

There is no parole in the federal system, ensuring that Mandujano-Rodriguez will serve his full sentence for his crimes.
