Nicaraguan Illegal Alien Sentenced For Illegal Re-Entry of a Deported Alien

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - ORLANDO JOSE JARQUIN OROZCO ("JARQUIN"), age 36, a native of Nicaragua, was sentenced on July 9, 2026, by United States District Judge William J. Crain after previously pleading guilty to illegal reentry of a removed alien, in violation of Title 8, United States Code, Section 1326, announced United States Attorney David I. Courcelle.

JARQUIN was sentenced to forty-two months imprisonment, a fine of $100,000, a three-year term of supervised release, and payment of a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.

According to the indictment, JARQUIN reentered the United States after he was previously deported on November 16, 2016. Prior to his deportation, he was convicted of second-degree battery in Jefferson Parish.

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.

United States Attorney Courcelle praised the work of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Office of the Inspector General for the Social Security Administration in investigating this matter. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mary Katherine Kaufman.
