Honduran Illegal Alien Charged With Reentry of a Removed Alien

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – CARLOS NAUN COREA-SUAZO (“COREA-SUAZO”), age 34, a Honduran national, was charged on August 28, 2026, via bill of information, for reentry of a removed alien, in violation of Title 8, United States Code, Sections 1326(a) and (b)(1), announced United States Attorney David I. Courcelle.

According to court documents, COREA-SUAZO was arrested on August 2, 2026, by the Slidell Police Department for driving while intoxicated.  After being notified of his arrest, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) confirmed that COREA-SUAZO had a final order of removal and was issued an immigration detainer and warrant of removal to the Slidell Police Department.  On August 19, 2026, ICE took COREA-SUAZO into federal immigration custody and transported him to the ICE New Orleans Field Office in Saint Rose, Louisiana for processing.  Records checks revealed that COREA-SUAZO is an alien and has previously been removed from the United States four (4) times. 

According to the bill of information, on or about August 2, 2026, COREA-SUAZO, an alien, was found in the United States after having been deported and removed therefrom on or about October 28, 2020, without the approval of the Attorney General of the United States or his designated successor, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, having expressly consented to the defendant’s reapplication for admission into the United States.

If convicted, COREA-SUAZO faces a maximum penalty of up to ten (10) years of imprisonment, up to a $250,000 fine, up to three (3) years of supervised release, and a $100 mandatory special assessment fee.

U.S. Attorney Courcelle reiterated that a bill of information is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

U.S. Attorney Courcelle praised the work of the Department of Homeland Security, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, United States Homeland Security Investigations, and the Slidell Police Department in investigating this matter.  Assistant United States Attorneys Spiro G. Latsis and Lorcan L. Connick of the General Crimes Unit are handling the prosecution.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, 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.
