A 24-year-old illegal immigrant is in federal custody for having illegally re-entered the United States after being deported last year.

Gustavo Ruiz-Sanchez, a Mexican national living at 115 Braithwaite Lane in Quakertown, was under investigation by Quakertown police Jan. 11 when they called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, according to federal court records.

An ICE investigator checked Ruiz-Sanchez's records and found he had been charged with DUI in June 2009 and was being held in Bucks County prison. After his relase he was ordered deported June 23, 2010, and physically put back in Mexico June 25, 2010 at the Harlingen, Texas port of entry, according to court records.

Ruiz-Sanchez faces up to two years in federal prison and up to $250,000 in fines.
