Illegal Alien Pleads Guilty To Unlawful Reentry

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA - The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Rodolfo Contreras Hernandez, a/k/a Hernandez Rodolfo Contreras, age 41, a Mexican national unlawfully present in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to one count of Unlawful Reentry of Removed Alien, punishable by a term of imprisonment of not more than two years, and a fine of not more than $250,000.00.

The charge arose from an investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division and the Okmulgee County Sheriff's Office.

The Indictment alleged that on September 4, 2026, Contreras Hernandez, an alien, was found in the Eastern District of Oklahoma without obtaining the express consent of the Secretary of Homeland Security to reapply for admission to the United States after having been previously removed on June 10, 2005.

This case 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.

The Honorable Jason A. Robertson, Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report.

A U.S. District Court Judge will determine the sentence to be imposed after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Contreras Hernandez will remain in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending sentencing.
