Honduran national ordered to federal prison for fifth illegal reentry

HOUSTON - A 48-year-old man who illegally resided in Porter has been sentenced for illegally reentering the country again, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei.

Oscar Javier Quiroz Perdomo pleaded guilty Nov. 21, 2025.

U.S. District Judge Sim Lake has now ordered Perdomo to serve 70 months in federal prison. Not a U.S. citizen, he is expected to face removal proceedings following his imprisonment. At the hearing, the court heard additional evidence regarding his criminal history while illegally present in the United States. In imposing the sentence, the court noted Perdomo's repeated illegal reentries and other criminal conduct.

Perdomo has multiple previous convictions for thefts, burglaries of buildings and a habitation, abandoning or endangering a child and illegal reentry.

He was first ordered removed in August 2009 and returned illegally on at least four other occasions. Most recently, authorities discovered him on or about Jan. 29, 2025, in Houston with no authorization to be there.

Perdomo has been and will remain in custody pending transfer to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement - Enforcement and Removal Operations conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Franklyn and former Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brooke Fuselier prosecuted the case.

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 and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
