New Mexico Felon Sentenced to 80 Months in Federal Prison for Unlawful Reentry
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Rene Gonzalez-Chavez, 33, of Chihuahua, Mexico, was sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for his conviction for unlawfully reentering the United States.
Gonzalez-Chavez will be deported after completing his prison sentence.
According to court documents, Gonzalez-Chavez had previously been deported from the United States on April 28, 2010, after he was convicted in April 2006, of multiple aggravated felonies including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, attempt to commit a felony, aggravated burglary with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit an aggravated burglary, and aggravated assault against a household member with a deadly weapon and resisting an officer.
Gonzalez-Chavez was charged on Sept. 24, 2014, in a criminal complaint with illegally reentering the United States after having been convicted of an aggravated felony.
The offense took place in Bernalillo County, N.M.
This case was investigated by the Albuquerque office of Homeland Security Investigations and the Albuquerque Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lynn Wei-Yu Wang is prosecuting this case as part of a federal anti-violence initiative that targets ‘the worst of the worst’ offenders for federal prosecution.
Under this initiative, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and federal law enforcement agencies work with New Mexico’s District Attorneys and state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies to target violent or repeat offenders for federal prosecution with the goal of removing repeat offenders from communities in New Mexico for as long as possible.
