El Paso Man, 24, Booked at Santa Teresa Port of Entry on Felony Count

Allegedly... Osvaldo Villalba Hernandez, 24, of El Paso, Texas, was booked into a New Mexico jail on Dec. 20, 2025, after being taken into custody at the Santa Teresa CBP port of entry, according to booking records. The record lists a single felony count categorized as an other offense, and no bond was set at intake. The Santa Teresa port of entry is a common handoff point for cases involving outstanding warrants, immigration holds, or federal referrals. No matching federal case, local news coverage, or court filing naming Villalba Hernandez was located in publicly searchable databases at the time of this posting, so the underlying allegation could not be independently verified. The charges are allegations; Villalba Hernandez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
