PORTLAND, OR – Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared a press release on social media earlier in June, highlighting the apprehension of a criminal illegal alien out or Oregon with multiple convictions of domestic violence who is now facing federal charges for illegal reentry.
Homeland Security initially highlighted the apprehension of Juan Pablo David Tellez-Cabezas via a late May press release detailing notable arrests carried out across the country during the Memorial Day weekend, noting how Tellez-Cabezas’ country of origin is Mexico and how he harbored prior convictions for offenses ranging from strangulation to coercion.
In an update provided by ICE on June 10th, officials revealed Tellez-Cabezas was previously deported after serving time in prison for a number of convictions from 2017 which included domestic violence strangulation, assault, coercion, and unlawful weapons use. Sometime following Tellez-Cabezas’ initial deportation, he’d illegally reentered the United States only to find himself again convicted of various violent offenses yet again.
According to officials, Tellez-Cabezas was convicted of domestic violence strangulation for a second time in 2023 alongside a conviction of reckless burning, resulting in another stint in prison where upon his release, federal immigration authorities were waiting to take him into custody.
“ICE arrested Juan Pablo David Tellez-Cabezas upon his most recent release from an Oregon prison, armed with a federal criminal warrant charging him with illegal reentry and immediately handed him over to [U.S. Marshals],” the press release reads.
ICE confirmed in their update on Tellez-Cabezas that he will be subject to deportation once again after “he’s faced justice” for the impending charge of illegal reentry. A conviction of illegal reentry carries a federal prison sentence ranging from 2 to 20 years depending on aggravating factors such as a prior removal for misdemeanor or felony convictions.
