OMAHA, Ne. -- United States Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced that Roberto Lamadrid Campuzano, 38, of Mexico, was sentenced on August 8 in federal court in Omaha, Ne., for illegal reentry to the United States following an aggravated felony conviction.

Chief Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Lamadrid Campuzano to 24 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Lamadrid Campuzano’s release from prison, he will begin a 3-year term of supervised release.

Lamadrid Campuzano came to the attention of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) after agents received information from a traffic stop in Bellevue, Ne., conducted by Bellevue Police Department on April 4, 2025. Lamadrid Campuzano had previously been identified by law enforcement as a member of Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13.

On April 10, 2025, special agents from HSI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) observed Lamadrid Campuzano exit his residence and arrive at a construction site in Elkhorn, Ne. Lamadrid Campuzano was arrested while leaving the work site for his lunch break. Lamadrid Campuzano was then taken in for administrative processing where his identity was confirmed. Lamadrid Campuzano is a citizen and national of Mexico.

Lamadrid Campuzano had been previously ordered removed from the United States on October 6, 2006, and was physically removed from the United States pursuant to that order on May 30, 2014. When he was encountered in the United States on April 10, 2025, Lamadrid Campuzano did not have the permission of the Attorney General or the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to have returned to the United States.

On August 1, 2006, Lamadrid Campuzano was convicted of numerous felonies in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, which included Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon, Criminal Gang Participation, and Reckless Use of a Firearm with Serious Injury.

This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
