A Mexican national who was previously deported from the United States returned illegally, then tried to launch a drug-and-guns business relationship with a stranger he met in a Chicago truck dealership parking lot by offering to sell him a pound of methamphetamine and an AK-47, according to federal court records. That stranger turned out to be a federal informant.
Now, Leonel Mercado Jaimes is charged with distributing nearly a pound of methamphetamine after authorities say he followed through on the drug sale and later admitted he had re-entered the country illegally after being deported in 2015.
According to a federal complaint, a Homeland Security Investigations informant reported that Mercado Jaimes approached him at a Chicago truck dealership in late April and struck up a conversation in Spanish. During the discussion, Mercado Jaimes allegedly said he believed the man was involved in criminal activity and offered to sell him one pound of meth and an AK-47-style rifle for $2,000. The informant exchanged contact information with Mercado Jaimes and later notified federal agents about the encounter.

Does time then gets deported and then comes back when a democrat is in office. His 3 hots and a cot will be paid for by the taxpayers. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Since they’re not citizens we should be able to contract out the jail time to countries where the have to eat fish heads.

Such a deal!
