Regional News: OKC drug dealer faces six-plus years in federal prison and another deportation after illegal reentry
Oklahoma City, - A Mexican citizen previously deported from the United States has been sentenced to 64 months in federal prison for illegally reentering the country following a conviction for fentanyl trafficking.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma, Adrian Gomez-Osorio, 40, was discovered in Oklahoma on October 17, 2024, after having been removed to Mexico in July 2020.
His presence came to light after he was arrested and charged in Oklahoma County District Court with multiple drug-related offenses, including aggravated trafficking and acquiring proceeds from drug activity. He was later convicted in case number CF-2024-5079.
A federal grand jury indicted Gomez-Osorio on November 19, 2024, for illegal reentry. He pleaded guilty on February 14, 2025, admitting he had returned to the U.S. without authorization.
At his sentencing on July 23, 2025, U.S. Chief District Judge Timothy D. DeGiusti emphasized the importance of upholding the law and protecting the public from future offenses. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tiffany Edgmon and investigated by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations.
This prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America, a federal initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration and dismantling transnational criminal organizations.
