Mexican National Indicted For Illegal Reentry By An Aggravated Felon

Tampa, Florida – Acting United States Attorney Sara C. Sweeney announces the return of an indictment charging Carmelo Nolasco-Carbajal (41, Mexico) with illegal reentry by a deported alien. If convicted, Nolasco-Carbajal faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. 

According to the indictment, between February 2024 and February 10, 2025, Nolasco-Carbajal was found to be voluntarily in the United States after having previously been removed from the United States on April 3, 2003, August 2, 2007, and July 13, 2016. Nolasco-Carbajal had not received consent of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security to reapply for admission. Prior to being found in the United States, Nolasco-Carbajal had been convicted of several felonies, including aggravated battery with great bodily harm, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and illegal reentry. 

An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
