Harrisburg, PA – In a shocking move, Oseas Froilan Gomez-Tebalan, a 29-year-old Guatemalan citizen, has been charged with illegally reentering the United States. According to the indictment, Gomez-Tebalan was previously removed from the country on March 18, 2017, and allegedly reentered the country without first obtaining legal permission.
The indictment, announced by United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, alleges that Gomez-Tebalan was found in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, on March 21, 2024. This marks a significant development in the ongoing efforts to combat illegal immigration in the United States.
The case was investigated by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations, demonstrating the importance of interagency cooperation in tackling complex crimes.
Assistant United States Attorney K. Wesley Mishoe is prosecuting the case, ensuring that Gomez-Tebalan will face the full force of the law.
The maximum penalty for the charged offenses is 20 years imprisonment, three years of supervised release following imprisonment, a fine, and a special assessment. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by a court after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Gomez-Tebalan is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. The indictment serves as a reminder that the United States will not tolerate illegal immigration and will prosecute those who attempt to circumvent the law.
