Mexican Citizen Sentenced to 4 Months for Illegally Reentering the United States After Prior Removal

On January 29, 2024, Ulises Casterjon-Gallegos was arrested in Barron County, Wisconsin for possessing methamphetamine. He was originally removed from the United States in 2008 and was subsequently removed four additional times prior to his recent drug arrest.



Judge Conley addressed Casterjon-Gallegos's substance abuse issues and his prior conviction and arrests for domestic abuse. Judge Conley urged him to take a lengthy period of sobriety and to reevaluate his treatment of the women in his life. Judge Conley warned him that now that he has a conviction for illegal reentry, he would face much higher consequences should he illegally reenter the country again.



The charge against Casterjon-Gallegos was the result of an investigation conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and the Barron County Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Colleen Lennon prosecuted this case.
