Leobardo Reyes-Gonzalez/Mexico/Driving While Intoxicated

ICE San Antonio arrested Leobardo Reyes-Gonzalez, a 45-year-old citizen of Mexico who is unlawfully present in the United States. According to court records, Reyes-Gonzalez was convicted of driving while intoxicated and received a one year jail sentence. He was taken into immigration custody and placed in removal proceedings, where his case will be reviewed by an immigration judge.

Driving while intoxicated is charged when a person operates a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Prosecutors commonly prove the offense through a combination of officer observations, standardized field sobriety tests, chemical analysis, and dash or body camera recordings. Sentencing for a DWI conviction can include custody, fines, license restrictions, treatment requirements, and ignition interlock conditions. A one year sentence reflects the court’s assessment of the offense and any aggravating factors present in the record.

During intake, immigration officers complete biometric identity verification, gather certified copies of the judgment and sentencing orders, and document the immigration and employment history for presentation in court. Reyes-Gonzalez will remain detained while the administrative case proceeds, including custody review and any filings related to relief or protection claims available under law. If a final order of removal is issued, officials will coordinate travel documentation with the receiving government and arrange transportation consistent with federal procedures.

The immigration process runs on a separate track from the criminal matter. While the DWI conviction establishes the basis for removability under federal statutes, the immigration court will determine custody status and the ultimate disposition of the case following the presentation of records, identity confirmation, and any arguments permitted by law.
