An illegal immigrant from Mexico who previously served nearly two decades in federal prison, was indicted Tuesday after allegedly conspiring to move tens of millions of dollars in methamphetamine in the Atlanta area, leading authorities to seize nearly 1,600 pounds of the stimulant drug hidden in blackberry shipments.

Gerardo Solorio-Alvarado, 44, of Mexico, was charged with conspiracy and possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.

He previously served 17 years in prison after being convicted of felony possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a gun in a drug trafficking crime.

“We’ve seen the cartels operate this way before. … We have seen massive methamphetamine seizures of drugs that were smuggled in with cucumbers, celery or jalapeño peppers. And now … blackberries.”


what’s next?

The prosecutions are also part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order “Protecting the American People Against Invasion.”

There is no way that is real product sitting on those tables. Otherwise the hosts of that press conference would be adorned with PPE.

That’s a lot of meth. You could keep the whole country awake for a week right there. That’s what the Hitler regime did. “Blitzkrieg”

Well, at least Blackberry finally has a way to make sales and regain market share after crashing and burning 10 years ago.

We can fully justify it by how much in electrical resources the electric chair costs versus the cost of electricity this person uses in and out of prison every minute they are left alive.

Do it to help the world, through these environmentally precarious times, with Global Warming.

I’ve always been concerned with buying fresh produce from Mexico, especially this time of year when it’s colder here. No telling what they’re using for fertilizer.
Now we might have meth-tainted produce? Mmmmmm…..just what we need!!

Feed drug smugglers their own product. Would serve them right to lose their teeth, hair and remaining brain cells.

“No telling what they’re using for fertilizer.”

I remember for a while there people were getting sick from produce tainted with E. coli.

Turned out the hispanic pickers were defecating right in the fields.

All I know is that if it gets smuggled in with asparagus or string beans I’m in no danger of ever coming across it.
