(South Bend, IN) - A repeat immigration offender has been sentenced to federal prison.

 

This week 44-year-old Jose De Jesus Rosales-Gamez, a citizen of Mexico, was sentenced in South Bend’s U.S. District Court to 16 months in prison.

 

Authorities say Rosales-Gamez was sent back to Mexico four times from the mid-90s through 2016. He then returned again following two felony convictions.

 

The La Porte County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Department of Homeland Security in bringing Rosalez-Gamez in.
