Maikol Jordan Saldivar-Diaz, Drug Trafficking, New Hampshire 2024

A 28-year-old Dominican man has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for trafficking drugs at a public housing development in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Maikol Jordan Saldivar-Diaz, an illegal immigrant, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Samantha Elliott to 30 months in federal prison and 3 years of supervised release. In November 2024, Saldivar-Diaz pleaded guilty to three counts of distribution of controlled substances.

The investigation, led by the Portsmouth Police Department, found that Saldivar-Diaz sold controlled substances, including fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine, to a confidential informant on three occasions in June and July of 2024.

‘Saldivar-Diaz is an illegal immigrant who chose to distribute drugs outside of a public housing development,’ said Acting U.S. Attorney Jay McCormack. ‘The families at the housing development deserve better than to be endangered by those dealing and buying dangerous narcotics nearby. We will continue to support our partners to ensure public neighborhoods in the Granite State are safeguarded from drug activity and violence.’

The case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation, which aims to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tiffany Scanlon is prosecuting the case. The Drug Enforcement Administration provided valuable assistance in the investigation.
