Jose Ojeda-Garcia/Mexico/Sex Assault

by G. George | February 26, 2026

Mexican national Jose Ojeda-Garcia was arrested at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, on allegations of sexual assault and illegal re-entry after a prior removal from the United States. He was taken into custody by officers who identified him as a previously deported foreign national now facing a new sex assault case. The arrest followed a records check that linked him to an earlier expulsion from the country and an active criminal investigation.

Following his apprehension at Fort Snelling, Ojeda-Garcia was transported to a detention facility pending both criminal and immigration proceedings. Prosecutors are expected to pursue charges related to the reported sexual assault, while immigration authorities review his past removal and unauthorized return.

If convicted, he could face a prison sentence on the sex assault count along with additional consequences tied to his immigration status.
