A 22-year-old Kickapoo man was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for transporting child sexual abuse material into the United States through the Eagle Pass Port of Entry.
Orlando Oneill Kaskaskie Anico received the 240-month sentence in federal court in Del Rio, Texas, according to a November 13, 2026 announcement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas.
The investigation began in December 2023 after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported that an Instagram user had uploaded two image files and two video files suspected of containing child sexual abuse material.
Investigators traced the online activity to an internet protocol address near Eagle Pass and subsequently to an address associated with Anico, according to court documents cited in the announcement.
On September 3, 2025, Anico attempted to enter the United States from Mexico at the Eagle Pass Port of Entry. Homeland Security Investigations agents were notified and arrived to interview him.
During the interview, Anico admitted that he lived at the Eagle Pass address identified during the investigation. He also admitted trading child sexual abuse material with others through Telegram and Instagram and using the Instagram username identified in the original 2023 report.
A search of his cellphone uncovered conversations with another Telegram user, along with multiple videos and photographs containing child sexual abuse material.
Anico was taken into custody and indicted on charges involving transportation, distribution, and possession and access with intent to view child pornography.
On March 9, 2026 he pleaded guilty to one count of transportation of child pornography, the offense for which he received the 20-year prison sentence.
Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nallely Duarte prosecuted it.
The prosecution was brought under Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide Department of Justice initiative launched in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. The program coordinates federal, state and local efforts to investigate offenders and identify and rescue victims.
