## Resource

A Romanian man, Ioan Rostas, 36, deported in 2023, pulled off a wild comeback—sneaking back into the U.S. illegally, faking his identity, and even getting caught in a retail theft ring. After bouncing off an immigration program, being ordered out by a judge he wasn’t present for, and getting arrested twice—once for lying to cops and again for allegedly stealing and forging IDs—he’s now locked up facing up to two years for reentering the country illegally. His sentencing is set for July 13th. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
