MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – Angel Urbina-Ramirez, a 53-year-old Mexican national residing in Poteau, Oklahoma, has confessed to the federal crime of Unlawful Reentry of Removed Alien. The plea, entered before U.S. Magistrate Judge D. Edward Snow, carries a potential sentence of up to ten years behind bars and a hefty fine of up to $250,000.00. The case highlights the ongoing federal crackdown on repeat immigration offenses.
According to court documents, Urbina-Ramirez, who also goes by the aliases Angel Urbina Ramirez and Angel Urbinaramirez, was discovered within the United States on June 13, 2025, despite having been previously deported on January 30, 2018. Critically, he did not obtain the necessary consent from the Secretary of Homeland Security to legally reapply for admission – a clear violation of federal law. The investigation was spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division, suggesting a targeted effort to identify and prosecute individuals who flout immigration laws.
This prosecution isn’t an isolated incident. It’s a component of “Operation Take Back America,” a sweeping nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice. The operation aims to aggressively combat illegal immigration, dismantle powerful cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and safeguard American communities from the scourge of violent crime. The DOJ is leveraging the resources of both the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhoods to achieve these goals.
Sources inside ICE indicate that Urbina-Ramirez was identified as part of a larger sweep targeting individuals with prior deportation orders. While details of his previous offenses remain sealed, the fact that he was deemed a priority for removal suggests a potentially significant criminal history or a pattern of immigration violations. The Grimy Times will continue to investigate any prior connections to criminal activity.
Judge Snow has ordered a comprehensive presentence investigation report to be compiled, which will provide the sentencing judge with a detailed account of Urbina-Ramirez’s background, criminal history, and potential mitigating or aggravating factors. A U.S. District Court Judge will ultimately determine the final sentence, taking into account both the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and relevant statutory factors. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dak T. Cohen is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government.
Urbina-Ramirez remains in the custody of the United States Marshals Service while awaiting his sentencing date. The Grimy Times will provide updates as this case progresses, continuing to expose the realities of federal crime and the fight against illegal immigration on the ground. The case serves as a stark reminder of the federal government’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws and holding those who violate them accountable.
