 Rafael Resendez-Ramirez Case - 2
Resendez has since entered the United States illegally many times, been arrested and convicted of numerous crimes, served his sentences and been returned to Mexico, only to travel again to the United States and resume his criminal activities.
However, prosecutors in both jurisdictions in which Resendez was apprehended in 1998 and 1999 (New Mexico and the Western District of Texas) estimated that based on Resendez’s three prior deportations and seven convictions, including several convictions for aggravated felonies, he would have received a sentence of 57 to 72 months’ imprisonment.
The INS had at least one contact with Resendez in 1995 – after he was convicted and served a jail sentence in August 1995 in San Bernardino, California.

 Rafael Resendez-Ramirez Case
Resendez had not reached the “threshold” number of apprehensions established in any of the places he was apprehended in order for him to be detained and prosecuted for entry without inspection.
Resendez clearly qualified under this policy for inclusion in the IDENT lookout database, since he had an extensive and serious criminal record, he had been previously deported by the INS several times, and by early 1999 he was wanted in connection with a brutal murder.
Resendez’s pattern of entry was like that of most illegal entrants along the Southwest Border – he attempted to cross the border in remote areas, between ports of entry.

Some of the crimes Maturino Resendez is suspected of committing occurred before 1997, and his use of aliases further complicated the case, officials said.
