ICE detains Honduran man involved in Connecticut crash for illegally reentering [5X, by my count] US, officials say

HARTFORD — A man who was under the influence when he was involved in an Andover crash has been ordered detained for illegally reentering the U.S., officials said Wednesday.

  • Belin Antonio Gonzalez-Garcia, 39, a Honduran citizen, appeared Tuesday in federal court in Hartford after being taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on June 23, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut David Sullivan said in a news release.

  • Gonzalez-Garcia was convicted of first-degree assault in the state in October 2009, the release said. After his 18-year prison sentence, which was suspended after seven years served and three years of probation, he was deported, the release said. He was sent back to Honduras in April 2015, the release said. 

  • The release said over a year later, in September 2016, Gonzalez-Garcia was taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol in Brownsville, Texas. The release said he served 2½ years in prison before being deported to Honduras in December 2018.

  • Gonzalez-Garcia had two more instances in Texas where he was caught by border patrol in the subsequent years, sentenced to prison and then deported to Honduras, the release said. 

  • Gonzalez-Garcia was charged by state police on June 7 in connection with the crash in Andover, the release said. It said he was charged with OUI, evading responsibility, failure to drive in proper lane and operating a motor vehicle without a license. The release said Gonzalez-Garcia appeared in state Superior Court in Rockville for those charges, and ended up being freed on a $2,500 bond. [Fun fact: CT forbids police to honor ICE detainers — Ed]

  • The release said ICE took Gonzalez-Garcia into custody on June 23. The release said he is now charged with illegal reentry of a removed alien.
