Osman Cardona-Suazo, Illegal Re-Entry of Removed Alien, Louisiana 2024

New Orleans, LA – In a stark reminder of the ongoing immigration crisis, Osman Cardona-Suazo, a 30-year-old Honduran national, has been indicted for the crime of illegal re-entry of a removed alien. The indictment, handed down on October 18, 2024, accuses Cardona-Suazo of reentering the United States after being previously removed on June 22, 2017.

The indictment, announced by U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans, carries serious penalties. If convicted, Cardona-Suazo faces up to 2 years imprisonment, up to 1 year of supervised release, up to a $250,000 fine, and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.

U.S. Attorney Evans stressed that an indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The case is a testament to the importance of immigration enforcement and the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to protect national security.

The investigation was led by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations, with the assistance of Assistant United States Attorneys Paul J. Hubbell and Spiro Latsis of the General Crimes Unit.

The indictment is a significant development in the ongoing efforts to combat immigration-related crimes. Cardona-Suazo’s alleged actions are a clear example of the dangers posed by individuals who disregard the law and reenter the country after being previously removed.

The case is a stark reminder of the importance of immigration reform and the need for robust laws to protect national security. As the investigation unfolds, one thing is clear: Cardona-Suazo’s alleged actions will have serious consequences if he is convicted.

As the Grimy Times continues to follow this developing story, one thing is certain: the rule of law will prevail. The investigation is ongoing, and Cardona-Suazo will have the opportunity to defend himself against the charges brought forth by the prosecution.
