Crime Wave Hits Oklahoma: Unlawful Reentry Case Lands Defendant 30 Months in Prison

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – In a shocking turn of events, a 41-year-old Mexican national has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for unlawful reentry in Oklahoma. Fernando Gonzalez-Esparza, a/k/a Fernando Esparza-Gonzalez, a/k/a Fernando Gonzalez-Esparsa, a/k/a Fernando Esparza, a/k/a Fernando Gonzalez, a/k/a Fernada Gonzalez, a/k/a Angel Gomez, was found guilty of one count of Unlawful Reentry of Removed Alien.

The investigation into Gonzalez-Esparza’s activities was led by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division and the Haskell Police Department. According to sources, Gonzalez-Esparza was previously removed from the United States on October 1, 2021, but failed to obtain the necessary consent to reapply for admission.

On September 10, 2025, Gonzalez-Esparza pleaded guilty to the charge, marking a significant milestone in the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Erin Cornell represented the United States at sentencing.

The Honorable Ronald A. White, Senior District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing. Gonzalez-Esparza will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility.

As part of a nationwide initiative, Operation Take Back America, this case aims to repel the invasion of illegal immigration and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. The operation marshals the full resources of the federal government to achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations.

Gonzalez-Esparza’s sentence serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of breaking the law. With 30 months in prison, he will have ample time to reflect on his actions and the devastating impact they have on our communities. The people of Oklahoma can rest easy knowing that justice has been served.
