Herminio Juarez-Gonzalez/Mexico/DUI

Herminio Juarez-Gonzalez, a 40-year-old Mexican national, was arrested in Mount Vernon, Washington, by Enforcement and Removal Operations Seattle with assistance from U.S. Border Patrol. Juarez-Gonzalez has a long history of immigration violations, having been previously removed from the United States multiple times. Despite these removals, he reentered the country unlawfully and continued to accumulate a criminal history in multiple states.

Records show that Juarez-Gonzalez was convicted in Washington for driving under the influence. He was also previously arrested in California on charges related to animal cruelty, reflecting a pattern of criminal conduct following his repeated unlawful entries. Federal immigration officers identified his presence in the Mount Vernon area and coordinated with local and national partners to carry out his arrest.

Upon apprehension, Juarez-Gonzalez was served with a notice of intent to reinstate his prior removal order and placed into ICE custody. Due to the repeated violations of immigration law and his criminal record, he is currently ineligible for release and will remain detained pending removal proceedings. ICE officials confirmed that his case is a priority due to the risk factors associated with his continued presence in the United States and his multiple reentries following prior removals.
