⏱ 2 min read

Victor Rubio-Trejo, a 48-year-old Mexican national, was arrested on April 10, 2026, by the St. Joseph, Missouri Police Department for illegally reentering the United States after being removed multiple times. Rubio-Trejo was identified by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and transferred into ICE’s custody, where it was determined that he had been removed from the US on five separate occasions and had a prior felony conviction for illegal reentry. The arrest took place in St. Joseph, Missouri, and Rubio-Trejo was charged with illegal reentry in a one-count indictment.

Rubio-Trejo’s case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration and transnational criminal organizations. The operation seeks to protect communities from violent crime and eliminate cartels and other criminal organizations.

The charges against Rubio-Trejo are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nicholas P. Heberle, with assistance from ICE and the St. Joseph, Missouri Police Department. Rubio-Trejo’s indictment is a result of the collaborative efforts of these agencies to address the issue of illegal reentry and protect national security.

Rubio-Trejo’s prior felony conviction for illegal reentry and his multiple removals from the US demonstrate a pattern of disregard for immigration laws. His case highlights the importance of Operation Take Back America and the need for continued efforts to combat illegal immigration and transnational crime.
