A Mexican national residing illegally in Jacksonville, Texas, has been indicted for unlawfully returning to the United States. The announcement was made by Acting U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs of the Eastern District of Texas.
Omar Galvan-Rodriguez, 41, was named in an indictment issued by a federal grand jury this week. He is charged with illegal reentry after having previously been deported from the United States. According to the indictment, Galvan-Rodriguez was found in the Eastern District of Texas on May 9, 2025.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a Department of Justice initiative that focuses on addressing illegal immigration and combating cartels and transnational criminal organizations through coordinated efforts involving multiple agencies and task forces.
“If convicted, Galvan-Rodriguez faces up to 10 years in federal prison and deportation.”
Homeland Security Investigations is handling the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Noble 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.”
