Yellowhammer Times

A Honduran national, Oscar Guillen Orellana, was sentenced to eight months in prison for illegally reentering the United States after being deported. The sentencing took place in Mobile, Alabama.

Court records indicate that Guillen Orellana, 60, was arrested by the Foley Police Department on March 13, 2025, on domestic violence charges. Authorities confirmed his identity and determined that he had previously been convicted of armed robbery in Georgia and illegal reentry offenses in both the Northern and Southern Districts of Alabama. His most recent sentence for illegal reentry was issued on September 21, 2020, resulting in a 41-month prison term in the Southern District of Alabama. He was deported on November 11, 2022.

Despite having been removed from the country three times and convicted of illegal reentry three times, Guillen Orellana was found again in the United States following his arrest earlier this year.

Chief Judge Beaverstock imposed an eight-month incarceration sentence and ordered a three-year supervised release period after imprisonment. Upon completion of his prison term, Guillen Orellana will be referred to immigration officials for deportation proceedings. He was also ordered to pay $100 in special assessments.

Guillen Orellana admitted to violating the terms of supervised release from his 2020 conviction and received an additional eight-month sentence for this violation; this sentence will run concurrently with his current prison term.

U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello of the Southern District of Alabama announced the sentencing. The case was investigated by several agencies including Homeland Security Investigations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Foley Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kacey Chappelear prosecuted the case.

The prosecution is part of Operation Take Back America, which is a nationwide initiative by the Department of Justice aimed at addressing illegal immigration and targeting transnational criminal organizations.
