Man held for deportation in Ohio in ‘Take Back America' initiative
TOLEDO, Ohio – A man arrested in Toledo will be deported following his prison sentence for illegal reentry into the United States.
Jose Tiscareno-Rangel, 35, a citizen of Mexico, was sentenced to 14 months in federal prison by U.S. District Court Judge Jack Zouhary after pleading guilty to illegally reentering the United States. He will be deported to Mexico upon completion of his prison sentence.
Prosecutors say Tiscareno-Rangel admitted to illegally re-entering the country after he was removed in 2018. He also had a previous conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 1.5 kilograms of heroin.
Tiscareno-Rangel was found in July 2024 during an encounter with law enforcement at a gas station in Toledo.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative against illegal immigration with the goal of eliminating cartels, criminal organizations and perpetrators of violent crime, according to the Department of Justice.
