Man Claims ‘20-30 Deportations’ During Arrest



A police investigation in Cleves, Ohio led to a startling admission by an alleged illegal immigrant–that he has already been deported more than two dozen times.

It’s a story you saw first on WCPO.com.

Jose Manuel Sanchez-Rojaz, 33, was arrested early Tuesday morning by a Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy. Sanchez-Rojaz was wanted for questioning regarding stolen vehicle. Authorities say the vehicle was stolen around 4 a.m. in the 6300 block of State Route 128.

During the questioning, Sanchez-Rojaz allegedly gave the deputy a false name and birthday. He was charged with falsification and obstructing justice.

The deputy says Sanchez-Rojaz also told him he “had been deported multiple times by immigration.â€
