BOSTON – Julio Ernesto Gomez, a 46-year-old Dominican national, has been charged with a federal immigration crime in Boston.
Gomez, who was deported in February 2004, was found to be illegally present in the United States on June 16, 2017, by federal agents in Boston.
According to the indictment, Gomez’s actions constitute a federal crime, and he faces a sentence of no greater than 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine of $250,000 and will be subject to deportation upon completion of his sentence.
Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The details contained in the indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Matthew J. Etre, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, made the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth G. Shine of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
Gomez, who is currently facing a serious federal crime charge, could face significant penalties if convicted. The public should be aware of the severity of this crime and the potential consequences for those who commit it.
This case highlights the importance of upholding immigration laws and ensuring that those who enter the country illegally face the consequences of their actions.
