Christobal Alvarez-Chavez/Mexico/Drug Possession, DUI

by G. George | July 20, 2025

Christobal Alvarez-Chavez, a 36-year-old citizen of Mexico and an illegal alien in the United States, was arrested by ERO Seattle officers near Yakima, Washington. Alvarez-Chavez has a notable history of prior removal from the U.S., underscoring his repeated disregard for U.S. immigration laws. His current apprehension reflects ongoing efforts by federal authorities to target individuals whose presence in the country poses potential risks due to criminal histories.

Alvarez-Chavez’s criminal background spans offenses in both Washington and California. His arrests for drug possession indicate involvement with controlled substances, a factor that not only carries legal consequences but also raises concerns about community safety and potential ties to broader criminal networks. Additionally, his history includes multiple arrests for driving under the influence (DUI), a crime that endangers public safety and reflects a pattern of behavior showing disregard for the law.

Further compounding his record, Alvarez-Chavez has been arrested for selling liquor to a minor—a serious offense demonstrating a willingness to engage in illegal activities that can place vulnerable populations at risk. Each of these criminal incidents contributes to a pattern of unlawful conduct and raises questions about his intentions and activities while residing in the United States.

Following his recent arrest, Alvarez-Chavez has been placed in ICE custody, where he will remain pending further immigration proceedings. Given his prior removal and recurring criminal conduct, immigration authorities are expected to prioritize his case to ensure that individuals with significant criminal histories do not remain unlawfully within U.S. borders.
