A Guatemalan national residing illegally in Collin County has been indicted for returning to the United States after deportation, according to an announcement from Acting U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs of the Eastern District of Texas.
Anibal Gonzalez-Corado, 54, was charged by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Texas with illegal reentry by a previously deported alien. The indictment states that Gonzalez-Corado was found in the district on February 1, 2025, following his prior removal from the country.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a Department of Justice initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration and dismantling criminal organizations. The operation coordinates resources from both the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
If convicted, Gonzalez-Corado could face up to two years in federal prison and subsequent deportation.
Homeland Security Investigations is leading the investigation, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Chalana Oliver is prosecuting the case.
"A federal indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law," stated officials.
