McALLEN, Texas -- Two Mexican nationals caught in Texas with 147 assault rifles, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, high-capacity magazines and bayonets have started serving short federal sentences after pleading guilty to entering the U.S. illegally.
Federal prosecutors released the names of Damaso Alberto Rueda Cabrera and Arnulfo de la Cruz Sanchez on Thursday along with the unusual announcement that the men made their initial appearances in federal court, pleaded guilty and were sentenced to terms of 10 days and 45 days, respectively, all on Tuesday.
In a prepared statement, U.S. Attorney Jose Angel Moreno said the investigation continued and no further comment would be made by any of the agencies involved. U.S. District Magistrate Judge J. Scott Hacker sentenced both men. Marissa Perez-Garcia, head of the federal public defenders office in Laredo, said she had no comment on the case.
Laredo police pulled over the two men Saturday afternoon. Police said it was the biggest weapons seizure in the area in years and that while the investigation was ongoing, it appeared clear the guns were destined for Mexico.
De la Cruz, 53, of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, waded across the Rio Grande into Laredo on May 28, according to court records.
Rueda, 20, of Reynosa, Mexico, was the driver and had been in the U.S. since illegally crossing the border Dec. 15, 2008, according to court records.

"Feds Sentence Two Illegal Immigrants for Carrying Nearly 150 Assault Rifles Into U.S."
I’m wondering what kind of “details” you require on 147 “assault rifles” and 10,000 rounds of ammunition being transported WHERE EVER in our country by ILLEGAL aliens. You want to know the brand/model of the “assault rifles?”
I kinda doubt the “assault rifles” are BB guns.
Gads!!
Ping!
Don’t try to understand the story based on the headline. Really. I mean it. Just don’t.
It’s just one huge weapons swap-a-rama, I say.
bttt
Thanks for the ping!
“You want to know the brand/model of the “assault rifles?””
Yes, as a matter of fact I do. I have seen the media in action in past years on this issue. I don’t trust them one bit.
LOL! Mexican circular fire drill... ‘-)
Say what? Poor journalism yet again or the original story misreported?

We should start a new campaign. Everytime you see one of these lying schmucks, shout “You Suck!” ... and walk away.

I would buy one if they are real for some $ and keep it in the closet. With ammo. Wouldn't you?
Silly me.
I still can't believe that these two criminals were only sentenced to 10 and 45 days. They were obviously involved in serious criminal activity.

federal sentences after pleading guilty to entering the U.S. illegally!!!!!!!!
Good going Obama
For 147 assault weapons and 10,000 rounds of ammo, what do you think the average US citizen would be sentenced for the same thing? This limp little slap on the wrist sure doesn't equate to punishment designed to discourage this from happening again, does it? Also, it smacks of media irresponsibility because here we have illegals transporting weapons INTO the USA instead of the way Hillary, Calderon and the rest of the democrat anti-gun movement wants us to believe is the usual weapons smuggling methodology.
10 days and 45 days? I wonder how long a citizen convicted of possessing such an illegal/unregistered arsenal would get?””
45 years ???
