Texas Man Will Sentenced To Five Years In Prison For Smuggling More Than 100 Migrants

A 21-year old Texas man has been sentenced to more than five years in prison after pleading guilty to smuggling over 100 migrants into the U.S.

The man in question is Juan Francisco Reyna, 21. He pleaded guilty in January to conspiring to transport and harbor migrants within the country.


As a result, U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison sentenced Reyna to 63 months in federal prison plus one year of supervised release. The sentence added more time for bringing children, reckless endangerment and being a "leader/organizer in the conspiracy," according to U.S. Attorney Nicholas Ganjei.

Border Report detailed that Reyna was involved in smuggling operations for at least five years and that between 2019 and 2023 he was repeatedly caught trying to move people through a checkpoint north of Laredo. He was also linked to stash houses in Laredo and San Antonio.

All that added more time?  Time to rewrite the laws!!!!!
