Mexican National with Multiple Drug Felonies Indicted for Trafficking Methamphetamine and Illegal Reentry After Being Deported Four Times

News Release, U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Hawaii, Thursday, March 13, 2025

HONOLULU, Hawaii – Acting United States Attorney Kenneth M. Sorenson announced today that a federal grand jury returned an indictment against Enrique Gonzalez Jacobo, 59, of Mexico, charging him with attempting to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and being an illegal alien present in the United States after having been previously convicted of a felony and removed from the United States.

According to information presented in court, Gonzalez Jacobo has been removed to Mexico at least four times and has three prior felony convictions related to drug trafficking. In July 2024, Gonzalez Jacobo was located in Hilo, Hawaii, after having been removed from the United States, and was arrested while attempting to take possession of a package containing over five pounds of methamphetamine hidden inside a stuffed animal.

If convicted of the charged offenses, Gonzalez Jacobo faces up to life in prison, a mandatory minimum term of ten years, and a fine of up to $10,000,000.

The charges in the indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. In the case of conviction, any sentence would be imposed by a United States District Judge based on the statutory sentencing factors and the advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines.

This case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren Nakamura.
