Mexican National Sentenced For Re-Entry: Had 9 Prior Deportations

FRAMINGHAM, MA—A Mexican national with nine prior deportations, and who was previously charged with domestic assault in Framingham, was sentenced on Tuesday in federal court in Boston for illegally reentering the United States after being deported.

Bulmaro Enriquez, 32, has pending state charges for domestic assault and battery and prior convictions for drunk driving and drug possession. After being charged with illegal re-entry in April 2018, he was released from federal custody in June 2018, during which time he violated conditions of release by testing positive for drugs.

Bulmaro Enriquez was sentenced to eight months in prison and two years of supervised release. The government sought a sentence of 16 months in prison. Enriquez will be subject to deportation proceedings after his release. In July 2018, he pleaded guilty to one count of illegal reentry of a deported alien.

Enriquez was charged with domestic assault and battery in 2017 and released by the state. That case is still pending. On April 30, 2018, immigration officers found Enriquez in Framingham and ruled that he was in the United States illegally. Enriquez was charged with illegal re-entry and detained.

However, on June 7, 2018, he was released from federal custody after agreeing to post the equity in his girlfriend’s home. Enriquez subsequently violated conditions of federal pretrial release by testing positive for cocaine and buprenorphine, authorities said. On July 25, 2018, U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley revoked Enriquez’s prior order of release and ordered him detained pending sentencing.

In 2015, Enriquez was arrested in Framingham after detectives seized 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana, electric scales and other drug distribution paraphernalia. In October 2015, Enriquez was convicted in state court and sentenced to prison. When Enriquez finished his sentence, he was then charged in federal court with illegal re-entry. Enriquez pleaded guilty, was sentenced and transferred into immigration custody. On Feb. 4, 2016, he was ordered removed to Mexico. At some point after his removal, Enriquez returned to the United States.

According to court records, Enriquez, who has a lengthy criminal record with convictions for drunk driving and drug possession, has been deported a total of nine times; Oct. 12, 2004; Nov. 22, 2004; Jan. 10, 2005; Nov. 7, 2005; March 6, 2006; April 18, 2006; Nov. 27, 2007; April 1, 2008; and Feb. 2016.
