Oscar Orosco Pelayo/Mexico/Illegal Reentry

Mexican national Oscar Orosco Pelayo was arrested in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on a federal allegation of unlawful return to the United States after a prior deportation. Publicly available records referencing his case indicate that he had previously been removed to Mexico before being found again in Minnesota without authorization to reenter.

Following his arrest in Saint Paul, Orosco Pelayo was placed into federal custody pending review of his immigration and criminal history under 8 U.S.C. 1326, which governs reentry of removed aliens. Prosecutors are expected to seek a single count related to illegal reentry, with potential penalties reflecting any prior felony convictions and earlier removals documented in his file. He will remain detained while his case proceeds through federal court in Minnesota.
