Previously deported Honduran arrested for illegal reentry

OCALA, Fla. – A Criminal complaint has been filed in the Middle District of Florida charging a previously deported illegal alien from Honduras with illegal reentry following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigation.

Junior Alexander Sanabria-Barrera, 27, was previously removed from the United States in April 2023. Afterward, Sanabria-Barrera was found to be voluntarily in the United States when he was encountered by law enforcement in Sumter County, Florida, on Feb. 14, 2025. Sanabria-Barrera had not received the consent of the U.S. Attorney General or the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to apply for readmission to the United States.

This case is being investigated by Miami ICE officers in Orlando. It will be prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Belkis H. Callaos.
