Dallas Man Faces Prison for Drug Conspiracy

A man from Mexico, living in Dallas without legal status, has been given a big punishment. He will spend 72 months, or six years, in a federal prison. This is because he was part of a plan to sell cocaine in the Eastern District of Texas. The man, Tomas Perez-Guerrero, who is 44 years old, admitted to his role in the drug conspiracy. A judge named Sean D. Jordan made the decision on a Monday. The judge agreed with the facts presented in court. These facts showed that Perez-Guerrero was involved in a plan to traffic cocaine in that area. This case is part of a bigger plan called Operation Take Back America. This operation is run by the Department of Justice. It aims to fight illegal immigration and stop cartels and other criminal groups. The goal is to make communities safer by reducing violent crime. The Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, looked into this case. They gathered the information needed to build the case against Perez-Guerrero. Then, a lawyer named Matthew Johnson, who works for the U. S. Attorney's office, took the case to court. He presented the evidence and argued for the punishment. Perez-Guerrero's sentence sends a strong message. It shows that the law takes drug trafficking seriously. Even if someone is not a citizen, they can still be held accountable for their actions. This case also highlights the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and illegal immigration. The punishment given to Perez-Guerrero is a reminder. It reminds everyone that breaking the law has consequences. It also shows the importance of operations like Take Back America. These operations help keep communities safe and protect people from harm.
