NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - ActingUnited States Attorney Michael M. Simpson announced that ABRAHAM RAMIREZ-CANTOR ("RAMIREZ-CANTOR"), age 40, a native of Honduras, pleaded guilty today to illegal re-entry of a removed alien, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1326(a).
According to court documents, RAMIREZ-CANTOR was previously removed from the United States on November 21, 2005. He was later found in the Eastern District of Louisiana on April 3, 2025, and had not received permission from the Attorney General of the United States or the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to re-enter the country. United States District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo accepted the guilty plea and sentenced RAMIREZ-CANTOR to time served.
Acting U.S. Attorney Simpson praised the work of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement in investigating this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Duane A. Evans of the General Crimes Unit is in charge of the prosecution.
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. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
