Illegal Alien Pleads Guilty To Unlawful Reentry

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA - The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Tito Arias-Castellon, a/k/a Tito Castellon Arias, a/k/a Tito Castello Arias-Castellon, a/k/a Tito Ely Arias-Castellon, age 26, a Honduran national unlawfully present in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to one count of Unlawful Reentry of Removed Alien, punishable by a term of imprisonment of not more than 20 years, and a fine of not more than $250,000.

The charge arose from an investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

The Indictment alleged that on February 18, 2026, Arias-Castellon, an alien, was found in the United States without obtaining the express consent of the Secretary of Homeland Security to reapply for admission to the United States after having been previously removed on October 15, 2018, and January 15, 2020.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

The Honorable D. Edward Snow, Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted the plea and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report.

A U.S. District Court Judge will determine the sentence to be imposed after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Arias-Castellon will remain in the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending sentencing.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Erin Cornell and Kristin Knutson represented the United States.
