Mexican National Indicted For Illegal Reentry
Orlando, Florida - United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announces the return of an indictment charging Agustin Hernandez-Diaz (28, Mexico) with illegal reentry by a previously deported alien. If convicted, Hernandez-Diaz faces a maximum penalty of two years in federal prison.
According to court documents, Hernandez-Diaz is a citizen and national of Mexico. He was previously removed from the United States on January 31, 2016. On March 11, 2025, he was found voluntarily back in the United States. Hernandez-Diaz has not received the consent of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security for the United States to apply for readmission to the United States.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
This case was investigated by United States Customs and Border Protection. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kaley Austin-Aronson.
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.
