Man Deported by the US to Mexico Wanted for Rape and Murder Charges
A Mexican man named Benito Alvarez-Gonzales was deported by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on his country and is set to face allegations of rape and murder.
According to Latino Fox News, the 31-year-old Alvarez-Gonzales is accused of kidnapping two teenage boys, aged 15 and 17, in Mexico last December of 2015. As noted, he allegedly raped the 17-year-old boy and then shot him five times, which ended his life.
The 15-year-old escaped and alerted the authorities, which led to Alvarez-Gonzales' arrest. He was apprehended earlier last month and was handed over to Mexican authorities last Thursday, Jan. 28.
However, this is not the first time Alvarez-Gonzales was deported and was convicted of crimes. Before his latest arrest, he was deported two years ago after he was convicted of an arson case he did in 2011, and was sentenced to three years in prison by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in 2013.
He was released in March of 2014 and was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) custody and was sent back to Mexico. But he somehow escaped justice and managed to illegally return to the U.S., with the ICE clueless on how he crossed the country's border.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs said that Alvarez-Gonzales was a permanent resident of the U.S. at one point, but was convicted of driving under the influence in Dallas County in 2004 where he was sentenced with 150 days of jail time, in addition to 24 months of probation, Dallas Morning News reported.
According to Simona Flores, field office director of Enforcement and Removal Operations in Dallas, "Identifying and removing foreign fugitives from the United States is an ICE priority." She added that cooperation between the two countries has led into the identification and safe capture of Alvarez-Gonzales, returning him to Mexico where he will deal with his allegations.
On Jan. 14, 2016, Mexico's Attorney General alerted the immigration authorities in Dallas that the man had an outstanding warrant for his arrest on the grounds of murder. He was arrested on the same date during a targeted fugitive operation.
This just the latest of arrests over gruesome crime, as federal authorities also arrested a 23-year-old former seminarian that allegedly plans to "buy" infants and young girls in Mexico.
The man was identified as Joel Wright of Columbus, Ohio and was detained by the Department of Immigration and Customers Enforcement agents in San Diego, People has learned.
Reports said that Wright intends to engage in sexual acts with minors in addition to engage in illegal sexual conducts in a foreign country.
