CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A 23-year-old Edinburg woman has been sentenced to federal prison for multiple conspiracies of transporting illegal aliens, announced U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick.

Today, U.S. District Judge David S. Morales ordered Joceline Esmeralda Garcia to serve a total of 51 months in federal prison to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release. At the hearing, the court heard how Garcia recruited, facilitated or directed more than five individuals to transport undocumented aliens, often in the enclosed trunks of vehicles. In one instance, humans had been concealed within wooden furniture in a U-Haul van. 

Garcia had pleaded April 17, 2019, to an alien smuggling conspiracy involving seven smuggling events and 18 undocumented aliens. While on bond pending sentencing in that case, Garcia continued to lead a subsequent alien smuggling conspiracy involving three human smuggling events and eight additional undocumented aliens.

Garcia has been and will remain in custody pending transfer to a Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

Customs and Border Protection conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Manning is prosecuting the case.

Human smuggling should carry the death penalty.

I said before, I’ll say it again: If Mexicans would put half the energy into fixing their country that they do into destroying ours than someday Mexico would be a place Mexicans don’t have to run away from.

Yes, as should any form of tampering with an election.

Since that’s not an option in this case, throw her in the bottom sub-basement of the Supermax for her 51 months and then see what she has to say afterwards to all the other coyotes, if she hasn’t forgotten how to habla.
