United States v. Rosales-Gonzales, 3:17-cr-01377

Defendant Guadalupe Rosales-Gonzales charged by criminal complaint (17MJ8435) with being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.
Arrested May 1, 2017 near Ocotillo, California; complaint filed May 3, 2017.
Records show an immigration removal order dated Feb 4, 2004 and a removal to Mexico via San Ysidro on June 28, 2016.
No record that Defendant obtained permission from the Attorney General or DHS to reenter the U.S. after removal.
Defendant is a Mexican citizen residing in Mexicali, Mexico, with no U.S. immigration status; has been removed 11 times and voluntarily returned/processed on 15+ occasions.
If released, Defendant would face ICE removal proceedings and likely be outside the court’s jurisdiction; conviction exposure creates a strong motive to flee.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Whether Defendant should be detained pending trial as a flight risk	Probable cause exists; multiple prior removals and voluntary returns; faces substantial custody if convicted, creating strong motive to flee	Defense sought release (specific proposed conditions not detailed in record)	Detention ordered; no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure appearance

None (no reported cases with official reporter citations were cited in the opinion).
