MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – Alain Sanchez-Lopez, a/k/a Enrique Sanchez-Malpicha, Jesus Rico-Lopez, Jesus Perez-Rico, and Alain De Jesus Sanchez-Lopez, aged 39, has pleaded guilty in Muskogee County to one count of Unlawful Reentry of Removed Alien. The Mexican national unlawfully present in the county faces a sentence of up to two years imprisonment and a fine of not more than $250,000.00.
The charge stems from an investigation by U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division and the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office. Sanchez-Lopez was found in the United States on July 15, 2025, without express consent to reapply for admission, having been previously removed on November 6, 2015, February 14, 2016, March 29, 2016, and April 13, 2016.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration and protecting communities from violent crime. It brings together resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
The Honorable Gerald L. Jackson, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted the plea and ordered a presentence investigation report. A sentence will be determined by the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Sanchez-Lopez remains in custody pending sentencing.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Dak T. Cohen represented the United States in this case.
Sanchez-Lopez’s guilty plea is a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against illegal immigration and the Department of Justice’s commitment to Operation Take Back America.
