A Mexican national, Jaime Eduardo Gonzalez-Camacho, appeared in court in Las Vegas to face charges of illegally reentering the United States after being previously deported. Gonzalez-Camacho, 29, is charged with one count of a deported alien found in the United States. A preliminary hearing is set for July 3, 2025, before United States Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Albregts.
The criminal complaint and court statements allege that Gonzalez-Camacho was deported from the U.S. on November 2 and November 10 of 2017, as well as June 9, 2020. He reportedly reentered the country illegally thereafter.
On April 23, 2023, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) became aware of his arrest by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers on multiple drug-related charges including three counts of drug trafficking and conspiracy to violate the uniform controlled substances act. After serving a prison sentence ranging from 26 to 72 months in Nevada State prison, he was transferred to ICE custody on June 17, 2025.
Gonzalez-Camacho has two prior felony convictions for drug trafficking. If convicted of the current charge, he faces up to two years in prison along with a one-year term of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada and Salt Lake City Field Office Director Jason Knight. The case is under investigation by ICE's Salt Lake City office and prosecution by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada.
The public can report crimes or suspicious activities by calling 866-DHS-2-ICE or using an online tip form.
It should be noted that a complaint is merely an accusation; Gonzalez-Camacho is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
