Mexican National Sentenced To 14 Months In Prison For Illegal Reentry

Jacksonville, FL – U.S. District Judge Wendy Berger today sentenced Maria Del Carmen Sobarso-Gonzalez (61) to 14 months in federal prison for illegal reentry into the United States. Sobarso-Gonzalez pled guilty on November 1, 2024.

According to court documents, earlier in 2024, law enforcement received a tip reporting that Sobarso-Gonzalez resided in Jacksonville, Florida, after having been removed from the United States three times. Sobarso-Gonzalez also was previously convicted of a felony illegal reentry into the United States by a deported alien in the Middle District of Florida. Law enforcement then surveilled several known locations where Sobarso-Gonzalez visited and resided, which resulted in her arrest.

This case was investigated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kelly S. Milliron.
