Guatemalan national pleads guilty to unlawful reentry charge in Oklahoma

A Guatemalan national, Abraham Suy Suar, has pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry of a removed alien in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. The 35-year-old was found unlawfully present in Bryan County, Oklahoma, after having been previously removed from the United States on September 23, 2014.

The charge carries a potential sentence of up to two years in prison and a fine that could reach $250,000. The investigation leading to Suy Suar’s arrest involved both the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

According to court documents, Suy Suar was discovered in the country on November 17, 2025, without obtaining permission from the Secretary of Homeland Security to reapply for admission following his earlier removal.

This prosecution is part of Operation Take Back America. According to officials, this initiative is "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."

U.S. Magistrate Judge Gerald L. Jackson accepted Suy Suar's plea and ordered a presentence investigation report. Sentencing will be determined by a U.S. District Court Judge after consideration of federal sentencing guidelines and statutory factors.

Suy Suar remains in custody with the United States Marshals Service while awaiting sentencing. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan E. Soverly represented the government in this case.
