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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I thought the judge was pretty lenient and then I read this. pointing-up

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