Gulfport, Mississippi – In a shocking case of firearm possession, Rodrigo Hernandez-Garcia, a 32-year-old illegal alien living in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, was sentenced to 8 months in federal prison for possession of a firearm by an illegal alien.
The sentencing occurred on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, at the hands of Senior U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola, Jr.. The case was investigated by Immigration Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Annette Williams.
According to the evidence presented, Hernandez-Garcia was found guilty of possessing a firearm, a serious offense considering his status as an illegal alien. The court’s decision was met with relief from the authorities, who had been working tirelessly to bring Hernandez-Garcia to justice.
As part of the sentencing, Hernandez-Garcia was ordered to be turned over to Immigration officials for deportation to Mexico upon completion of his sentence.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of strict gun laws and the consequences of violating them, particularly for those who are not legally permitted to possess firearms.
The Grimy Times will continue to monitor this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
