A Mexican national was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Bangor for entering the United States after prior removals.
Isidro Gonzalez-Peleaz, 41, was sentenced to time served. Gonzalez-Peleaz had been incarcerated since November 11, 2025.
According to court records, in November 2025, a Border Patrol agent encountered Gonzalez-Peleaz and his brother, Alfredo Gonzalez-Peleaz, leaving a jobsite in Calais. The Border Patrol agent conducted a field immigration inspection of the two men and determined that they were Mexican citizens and did not have any documentation to be in the U.S. legally.
A review of immigration records confirmed Gonzalez-Peleaz had been removed from the country in November 2006, at Brownsville, Texas; December 2012, at Calexico, California; March 2013, at Calexico, California; and August 2018, at San Luis, Arizona.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection investigated the case. Alfredo Gonzalez-Peleaz also received a sentence of time served, which was imposed by Judge Woodcock earlier today.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the government to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
The case against Gonzalez-Peleaz highlights the ongoing issue of illegal immigration in the United States. Despite being removed from the country multiple times, Gonzalez-Peleaz and his brother were able to reenter the country and continue to live illegally in the U.S.
