HOUSTON — The final two men arrested in connection with the March 2014 discovery of more than 100 illegal aliens in a Houston-area stash house were ordered to federal prison Thursday. The sentences were announced by U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson, Southern District of Texas, and Brian Moskowitz, special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Houston. The investigation was conducted by HSI, with assistance from the Houston Police Department. The following five men from Michoacan, Mexico, who pleaded guilty just one month after their March arrests,were convicted of conspiring to harbor and transport illegal aliens and using a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence: Jose Aviles-Villa, 32; Antonio Barruquet-Hildeberta, 46; Jonathan Solorzano-Tavila, 30; Jose Cesmas-Borja, 26; and Eugenio Sesmas-Borja, 20. "These men, who supported alien smuggling and alien harboring, placed their personal profit ahead of public safety and border security," said Moskowitz. "The resulting prison sentences should remind others involved in this dangerous trade of the severe consequences of their actions." On Sept. 4, U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal sentenced Aviles-Villa and Barruquet-Hildeberta  to 51 and 63 months respectively in federal prison for the conspiracy charge. Both men were also ordered to serve consecutive 60-month sentences for the use of a firearm, resulting in total sentences of 111 and 123 months. Solorzano-Tavila, Sesmas-Borja and Cesmas-Borja were previously sentenced to 60, 54 and 51 months in federal prison, respectively, for the conspiracy charge. They also received consecutive 60-month sentences for the use of a firearm, resulting in total sentences ranging from 120 to 111 months in prison. As illegal aliens, they will be deported following their release from prison.

Remember how illegals always say we fled because of gang violence and at the same time they are creating the same serious gang violence here in America .As noted here.In one specific instance, the conspirators contacted the mother of one of the stashed aliens and told her to pay an additional $13,000 for the victim and her two children. She was advised that if she did not pay, they would "make her family disappear and make her family pay.

Informative article. Thanks for posting.
great! I know another defendant with many more illegals in stash houses around the country.
He’s really easy to find, he’s in a oval shaped office from time to time at 1600 Pennsylvania.. Come to think of it, just grab him at the golf course. he spends more time there.
Obama and Holder doing the same thing, Charge them.

Solorzano-Tavila, Sesmas-Borja and Cesmas-Borja were previously sentenced to 60, 54 and 51 months in federal prison, respectively, for the conspiracy charge. They also received consecutive 60-month sentences for the use of a firearm, resulting in total sentences ranging from 120 to 111 months in prison. As illegal aliens, they will be deported following their release from prison.
The five men were arrested March 19 after 115 illegal aliens were discovered in a stash house on Almeda School Road in Houston.
The convicted smugglers admitted they obtained substantial profits as a result of the conspiracy. They had established networks that brought the aliens into the U.S. illegally across the Southwest border. The illegal aliens were then held in stash houses while the smugglers arranged payment of remaining smuggling fees from their families.
While in the stash house, the conspirators seized the victim aliens' clothes, shoes, phones and other possessions. The conspirators used guns, paddles, tasers and other equipment to control and prevent the illegal aliens from escaping from the stash house. They guarded the aliens with guns displayed in plain view and threatened to kill them by shooting them in the back of the head if they tried to escape.
In one specific instance, the conspirators contacted the mother of one of the stashed aliens and told her to pay an additional $13,000 for the victim and her two children. She was advised that if she did not pay, they would "make her family disappear and make her family pay."
The defendants will all remain in federal custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.
Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) Julie Searle and Special AUSA Rick Bennett, Southern District of Texas, prosecuted the case.
Hey this has nothing to do with me... I rechecked to see what went wrong. I did do Repost of same story and under preview it comes out looking the same way.You can do a repost yourself of same said story here and see under review the same results .Hope this helps.
Heck with the current administration, they should be suing for back pay.
Just to show that it can be done:

There’s no magic in this. On the ice.gov site, I copied from the word HOUSTON down through the last paragraph and then pasted what I had copied here. No additions or deletions were made to what I pasted. No special tricks or HTML magic required.
UpChuck . Did you post this under reply to topic or did you post this as new thread to News/Activism ? Try posting this as new topic you will see your article would post as follows like how it did with the original article: ? You will get two different results from post new article - reply to article.I am sorry but I have no control over how FR wants this article to appear. I am very sorry for any displeasure you experienced from how this article appeared and I hope you can understand some things are beyond my control in regard to the end result of how FR wants this article appear.
I notice that B4Ranch has also posted the article at reply number 5. His is a bit fancier than my post at reply number 8 as he apparently copied the original article in HTML and posted it here. I say that because his list of perps has a black bullet to left of it and mine doesn't. The original HTML would add the black bullets.
I have been posting on FR for a long time and know that, for all intents and purposes, posting a reply and posting an article is essentially the same process. For this reason, I'll not be posting the article to prove my point. Besides, the article has already been posted by you. No reason to post it again.
However, I did go through the motions of posting the article from the ice.gov web site using exactly the same procedure I outlined at the bottom of reply number 8. I used the Preview button to see how it would look if I posted it. The preview look exactly like my reply number 8 above. In other words I did everything you would do to post the article except click the Post button.
BTW, have you ever noticed this message at the bottom of the reply posting page:
I use Firefox 11.0 as a browser. As Add-ons I have No Script and AdBlock Plus.
To copy an article I use the copy command to highlight the article. Then I right click my mouse and click the View Selection Source option. This gives me a new page entitled Dom Source Of Selection. It has every HTML command that the article has enclosed within it. I Copy that entire page and paste it into the Body of Thread box.
Then I edit from the Body of Thread box any material that I don’t want. After reviewing it, I then Post it as a thread.
Using the View Selection Source option and the Dom Source Of Selection make posting threads so simple when your intent is to have exactly the same format as the original, which is what I always try to do.
I don’t know what Google Chrome, IE, or the other browsers have when you right click on them so please refrain from asking what you can do with them. I simply don’t know.
Good system! Shows there’s more than one way to skin the cat.
If you want to get the post to look the same as the orginal then go to the orginal,
place your cursor in a blank spot on the page, right click and select and click on
.. view source ... Scroll down the view source page until you find the article you
want to post, copy all the info including html coding and then post to your thread.
Go to one of the HTML sandbox practice threads and try it and see how it comes out.
Posting an article takes a little work so make it look good for the others to read.
HTML code means essentially use them all or none. Otherwise the post will be
a complete run on like this one did.
Yep, that's the way the article posting software on FR works. Been that way for a looooong time :) The reply posting software works the same way. HTML by default strips out all blank lines and reduces multiple spaces to one space. Those attributes can be had by using the HTML paragraph tag <p> and the multiple spaces character entity
Did I miss the part about the others being deported?
