According to court documents, Gonzalez admitted that on May 6, 2024, he possessed a counterfeit permanent resident card and a counterfeit social security card, both in his name, and knew that the cards were fraudulent.
Gonzalez’s case was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE-ERO), and Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Belliss is prosecuting the case.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Thomas P. Brophy, ICE-ERO Buffalo Field Office Director.
Gonzalez faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 at sentencing scheduled for December 5, 2024, before United States District Judge Anne M. Nardacci.
At sentencing, Gonzalez’s sentence will be imposed by the judge based on the statute he violated, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, and other factors.
