BOSTON, CMC – The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency says a 50-year-old Dominican Republic national who was apprehended by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) here has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for unlawfully reentering the United States.
ICE said that Felix Reinardo Nunez-Guerrero received a 30-month federal prison sentence at the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
“Felix Reinardo Nunez-Guerrero has repeatedly unlawfully entered the United States and broken our laws,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons. “His blatant disregard for public safety has proven him a significant threat to the Massachusetts community.
“ERO Boston will continue to prioritize the welfare of our residents by aggressively apprehending and removing the most egregious noncitizen offenders,” he added.
ICE said the US Border Patrol arrested Nunez on September 7, 1999, after he unlawfully entered the United States near El Paso, Texas.
Border Patrol officials served Nunez a notice to appear before a US Department of Justice immigration judge and turned Nunez’s custody over to the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
It said the Immigration and Naturalization Service released Nunez from custody on bond on October 15, 1999, and on October 20, the following year, a Department of Justice immigration judge in Boston ordered Nunez removed from the United States to the Dominican Republic.
Between October 30, 2008, and December 27, 2019, ICE said authorities arrested Nunez on numerous occasions and convicted him of intimidation, twice giving false addresses with the intent to hinder police, possession of a Class B controlled substance, assault and battery dangerous weapon-handgun, assault dangerous weapon-chemical spray, noncitizen unlawfully in the United States in possession of a firearm and ammunition and a forfeiture allegation, and illegally reentering the United States after previous deportation.
ICE said ERO removed Nunez from the United States to the Dominican Republic on four occasions: March 25, 2009; July 21, 2015; March 6, 2019; and August 4, 2020.
“Nunez unlawfully entered the United States without being inspected, admitted, or paroled by a US immigration official on at least five occasions,” it said.
