Antonio Galindo Salazar/Mexico/Sexual Assault

by G. George | September 02, 2025

ICE New Orleans deported Antonio Galindo Salazar, a citizen of Mexico, following his felony conviction for sexual assault. Court records show that a judge imposed a three year prison sentence after the prosecution proved the elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. When his criminal custody concluded, federal officers assumed control based on his removability under immigration law and began the post conviction transfer process that leads to repatriation.

Sexual assault is prosecuted as a serious felony because it involves nonconsensual sexual conduct and significant harm to the victim. Investigations typically rely on victim statements, corroborating witness accounts, and medical or forensic documentation, along with physical or digital evidence linking the offender to the conduct. A felony judgment confirms that the legal standard was met in court and commonly includes post release supervision conditions designed to protect the public and ensure compliance with orders that may restrict contact with the victim.

Removal processing in this case included biometric identity verification, collection of certified judgment and sentencing documents, and coordination of travel authorization with the Government of Mexico. Once documentation was complete and transportation scheduled, officers escorted Galindo Salazar on a repatriation itinerary consistent with established security and transport protocols. Upon arrival overseas, custody transferred to Mexican authorities for any actions deemed appropriate under local law.

With deportation executed, the United States custody portion of the immigration matter is complete. The criminal judgment and sentencing records remain part of the permanent file used in immigration databases and will be considered in any future admissibility determinations should he seek lawful entry at a later date.
