By David Olen Cross

The “Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report” in the first full week of October 2025 has for northwest regional and national radio listeners and website followers a report on a federal law enforcement identified foreign national whose criminal case for drug trafficking charges was adjudicated in a U.S. District Court in the state of Oregon.

Some background information, on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon (USAODO), issued a press release titled “Honduran National Unlawfully Residing in Oregon Sentenced to Federal Prison for Trafficking Fentanyl” who the subject of interest was Edis Odalis Centeno Banegas (U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon Court Case Number: 3:23-CR-00301-SI).

Here is an extended excerpt from USAODO’s July 29, 2025 press release on Edis Odalis Centeno Banegas:

“PORTLAND, Ore.— Edis Odalis Banegas, 45, a Honduran national unlawfully residing in Portland, was sentenced to 108 months in federal prison and three years’ supervised release Monday for possessing and distributing fentanyl in Oregon.

According to court documents, on September 6, 2023, as part of a drug trafficking investigation, law enforcement officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle occupied by Banegas and his co-conspirator. During a search of the vehicle, officers located and seized fentanyl and Super Mannitol, a cutting agent used to mix with fentanyl for further distribution, and arrested Banegas and his co-conspirator.

Later the same day, investigators executed search warrants on Banegas’s residence and storage unit. Investigators located and seized additional fentanyl powder, counterfeit pills containing fentanyl, Super Mannitol, three firearms, ammunition, and equipment to process fentanyl including vice presses, a scale, masks, and a blender. In total, more than ten pounds of fentanyl and Super Mannitol were seized.

On September 19, 2023, a federal grand jury in Portland returned a three-count indictment charging Banegas with conspiracy and possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

On February 5, 2025, Banegas pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute fentanyl.

This case was investigated by the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Westside Interagency Narcotics (WIN) team, Portland Police Bureau, and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.” – U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon

More background information, as a courtesy and for informational purposes the “Criminal Alien of the Week Report” sent via e-mail on July 30, 2025 a copy of the most recent USAODO press release on Edis Odalis Centeno Banegas to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Public Affairs for the Northwest Region which encompasses the states of Alaska, Oregon and Washington, furthermore, ICE Public Affairs in Washington, D.C.

As of Monday, October 6, 2025 there is no indication or explanation of why ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has not issued a press release communicating support for the federal law enforcement agency’s significant collaborative role in the take down of now convicted and sentenced Honduran national, illegally present in the country, drug trafficker Edis Odalis Centeno Banegas.

Post sentencing Edis Odalis Centeno Banegas (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Case Number: 0:25-cr-04876), apart from any ongoing success in his appeal of the drug trafficking conviction, Banegas will likely, if he hasn’t already, enter into the custody of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) where there are more than 25-thousand criminal aliens incarcerated in the BOP prison system.

Lars, the first full week of October 2025 and another “Criminal Alien of the Week Report” for Lars Larson Show KXL FM 101.1 northwest regional and national radio show listeners and website followers.
