Olger Rene Maldonado-Santos, a 29-year-old citizen of Honduras, has been sentenced for illegally reentering the United States after having previously been removed. The sentencing took place on September 9, 2025, in New Orleans.
According to court records, Maldonado-Santos reentered the country sometime before May 17, 2025. He had previously been removed from the United States on or about February 14, 2018. U.S. District Judge Wendy B. Vitter ordered that Maldonado-Santos be remanded into the custody of the United States Marshals after receiving credit for time served and one year of supervised release.
At the end of his prison term, Maldonado-Santos will be handed over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for removal proceedings in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson commented on the case: “I praise the work of the United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection investigating this matter.” Assistant United States Attorney Irene González from the General Crimes Unit is overseeing the prosecution.
