MAYCOL JAVIER CARCAMO-ANTUNEZ, a 21-year-old Honduran national, was found in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana on April 15, 2026, after allegedly entering the United States illegally, avoiding examination and inspection by U.S. immigration officials. This incident occurred in violation of Title 8, United States Code, Section 1325(a). CARCAMO-ANTUNEZ was charged by bill of information on May 7, 2026. The motive behind his actions is unclear, but the consequences of his alleged crimes are severe.

The charges against CARCAMO-ANTUNEZ are part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration, cartels, and transnational criminal organizations. This operation streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).

If convicted, CARCAMO-ANTUNEZ faces a maximum penalty of 6 months of imprisonment, up to a $5,000 fine, up to one year of supervised release, and a $10 mandatory special assessment fee. U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle reiterated that a bill of information is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

U.S. Attorney Courcelle praised the work of the U.S. Immigration and Customs in investigating this matter. Special Assistant United States Attorney Rick Veters, of the General Crimes Unit, oversees the prosecution. The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat illegal immigration and protect communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
