Texas man whose sentence was commuted by Obama arrested

A Texas man released from prison after his sentence was commuted by former President Barack Obama has again been indicted on federal drug trafficking charges, according to Department of Justice officials.

Hilario Nieto, 41, of San Antonio, is among eight people indicted on charges of conspiracy to possess and distribute methamphetamine and heroin in the San Antonio area, federal officials announced Thursday.

Nieto was sentenced in 2004 to more than 20 years in federal prison on drug charges, according to the federal officials. He was scheduled for release in 2021.

Obama commuted Nieto's sentence in 2016, the Justice Department said, and he was released in 2018.

“It is truly appalling that a man whose sentence the President previously commuted chose to flout that generous gift after being released from federal prison by resuming gang-related drug dealing in the San Antonio community,” U.S. Attorney Gregg Sofer said in a statement.

At least he got a job, didn’t end up on the govt dole!

He just went back to his previous line of work, selling meth and heroin.

Nairobi North (aka Chicago).
Right down the street from the fancy house he bought in the Tony Rezko deal in 2005.
