Hilario Sifuentes-Cordero, a 42-year-old Mexican national, was found unlawfully present in the United States on June 30, 2026, in Jacksonville, Florida, despite being deported twice before. Sifuentes-Cordero had previously been removed from the US on May 24, 2007, and November 1, 2008, and had not received permission to reenter the country. He was previously convicted of illegal reentry on October 15, 2008.
The investigation was conducted by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Florida Highway Patrol, and the case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Arnold B. Corsmeier. This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration and transnational crime.
Sifuentes-Cordero faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison and subsequent removal from the United States if convicted. The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to enforce immigration laws and protect national security.
US Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced the indictment, which alleges that Sifuentes-Cordero knowingly and unlawfully reentered the United States. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and the case will proceed through the federal court system.
