U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Florida

Orlando, Florida – Acting United States Attorney Sara C. Sweeney announces the return of an indictment charging Jose Humberto Caceres-Martinez (25, El Salvador) with illegal reentry by a previously deported alien. If convicted, Caceres-Martinez faces a maximum penalty of two years in federal prison. 

According to court documents, Caceres-Martinez is a citizen and national of El Salvador. He was previously removed from the United States on August 20, 2019. On February 17, 2025, Caceres-Martinez was found in the United States again after he allegedly fled the scene of a vehicular accident in Brevard County. Caceres-Martinez did not receive the consent of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security for the United States to apply for readmission to United States. 

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.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kaley Austin-Aronson.
