Honduran National Pleads Guilty to Unlawful Reentry in Oklahoma After Four Prior Removals
MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma — In Haskell County, Oklahoma, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on November 9 that Manuel Antonio Contreras Villeda, 49, a Honduran national unlawfully present in Haskell County, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry of a removed alien. He had previously been removed from the United States four times.
The charge carries a maximum term of imprisonment of two years and a fine of up to $250,000. Contreras Villeda will remain in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending sentencing.
According to the indictment, on September 17, 2026, Contreras Villeda was found in the Eastern District of Oklahoma without obtaining the express consent of the Secretary of Homeland Security to reapply for admission, after having been previously removed on August 12, 2008, September 27, 2008, August 19, 2009, and September 29, 2011.
The charge arose from an investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division and the Haskell County Sheriff's Office. The case is part of Operation Take Back America.
Magistrate Judge D. Edward Snow accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report. A U.S. district judge will determine the sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Edith A. Singer and Chuck Sullivan represented the United States.
