Juan Sebastian Celedon-Cardenas, 38, a Mexican National, has been charged in federal court for unlawful reentry after deportation. The charges were filed in Kansas City, Mo., and mark the latest development in the government’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
According to the complaint, Celedon-Cardenas had previously been removed from the United States four times – on March 29, 2010, March 15, 2016, August 19, 2016, and July 26, 2017. The complaint charges that Celedon-Cardenas is guilty of illegal reentry by a previously deported alien.
The charges contained in this complaint are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brad K. Kavanaugh.
This case is being investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement – Enforcement and Removal Operations. The investigation is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice 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.
Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN). The initiative aims to disrupt and dismantle the networks of criminal organizations that pose a threat to public safety.
The case against Celedon-Cardenas is a significant development in the government’s efforts to enforce immigration laws and protect national security. As the investigation continues, more details are likely to emerge about the circumstances surrounding Celedon-Cardenas’ alleged illegal reentry.
In the meantime, the charges against Celedon-Cardenas serve as a reminder of the importance of enforcing immigration laws and protecting the integrity of the nation’s borders. The government’s efforts to combat illegal immigration and transnational crime are critical to maintaining public safety and upholding the rule of law.
