Story by Maria Hernandez • 15h
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio announced a series of immigration-related charges and convictions last week, targeting four individuals in separate cases linked to illegal reentry and associated crimes.
The prosecutions, part of the district’s Immigration Enforcement Task Force efforts, underscore ongoing efforts to address immigration violations across the region.
On Monday, Sergio Diego-Sevilla, a 35-year-old Mexican national, was arrested in Licking County and charged with illegal reentry. Previously deported from Arizona, Diego-Sevilla was apprehended after deputies stopped a vehicle suspected of human smuggling.
Authorities found four individuals, including Diego-Sevilla, and $8,000 in cash inside, hinting at broader trafficking activities.
In Cincinnati, Edgar Palomares-Ventura, 38, pleaded guilty Tuesday to illegally reentering the U.S. The Mexican citizen, deported from Texas in 2022, was discovered in West Chester in February.
His criminal history includes marijuana trafficking and fraud-related offenses, adding weight to the federal case against him.
