BEAUMONT, Texas – Alejandro Uribe-Chavez, a Mexican national living in Beaumont under the radar, has faced his day of reckoning after pleading guilty to illegal reentry. The 43-year-old is staring down the barrel of up to two years in federal lockup and a forced farewell to the United States. This grim declaration comes from Acting U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs, who announced Uribe-Chavez’s conviction on July 10, 2025.
Uribe-Chavez’s journey back to the United States was paved with deceit. The court records reveal that he landed in Beaumont on May 3, 2024, under the radar for state charges unrelated to his illegal status. A deeper dive into his past exposed a sordid truth: He had been deported to Mexico in 2019 after being convicted of illegally entering the Southern District of Texas.
As Uribe-Chavez now sits awaiting sentencing, the justice system is poised to deliver its own brand of justice. The potential sentence, as dictated by Congress, carries a maximum penalty of two years in federal prison, followed by deportation. But it’s not just the prospect of federal lockup that looms over him; he also confronts unrelated state charges in Jefferson County.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, an operation that has its sights set on reclaiming American soil from illegal immigration and criminal cartels. The Department of Justice has marshaled the full might of its Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN) to streamline efforts against illegal immigration, eliminate transnational criminal organizations, and keep communities safe.
Investigating this case was a task for Homeland Security Investigations, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Jackson carried the prosecution torch. Uribe-Chavez’s sentence will be determined by the court after a thorough presentence investigation by the U.S. Probation Office.
