U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed Oscar Lopez Delira, a 47-year-old three-time removed criminal alien and convicted child predator, to his home country of Mexico on May 27.
ICE officers transported Lopez from the Montgomery Processing Centre in Conroe to the Laredo Port of Entry, and he was released into Mexico.
While in the U.S. illegally, Lopez has been convicted of two counts of sexually exploiting a minor on March 20, 2017, and illegal reentry on July 1, 2024.
Lopez first illegally entered the U.S. on an unknown date and at an unknown location. On January 2, 2001, he was arrested by ICE in Dallas, and he was returned to Mexico that same day.
Lopez illegally reentered the U.S. on an unknown date and at an unknown location and wasn’t encountered by ICE again until August 25, 2015, when he was arrested for sexually exploiting a minor in Carrolton.
On August 23, 2019, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice transferred Lopez into ICE custody, and he was placed into immigration proceedings.
An immigration judge from the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review ordered Lopez removed to Mexico on September 10, 2019.
ICE officers carried out that order on September 12, 2019, and deported him to Mexico through the Laredo Port of Entry.
Lopez illegally entered the U.S. for a third time on February 11, 2024, near Hidalgo, and was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol and charged with illegal reentry.
Lopez was convicted of illegal reentry on July 1, 2024, and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
On May 23, 2025, he was transferred into ICE custody from the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution, and he was removed to Mexico on May 27.
