BIRMINGHAM The last of four illegal aliens prosecuted in federal court for their roles in a March 2016 plot to invade a Calhoun County house, take a safe from it and deliver the residences occupants to a Dallas-based enforcer for drug organizations was sentenced today to one year and a day in prison. . .
U.S. District Judge R. David Proctor sentenced LUIS DIAZ-ZAVALA, 34, of Honduras, on one count of possessing a firearm by an alien illegally in the United States. Diaz-Zavala pleaded guilty to the charge in October.
. . .After completing their prison terms, all four men will be delivered to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to begin deportation proceedings.
. . .Oxford Police stopped a vehicle carrying Espinoza-Medrano, Lopez-Benegas and Echeverra-Benitez on March 25 and recovered four pistols and loaded magazines. They also recovered a tactical vest with attached Bowie knife and .45-caliber and 9mm ammunition in the pockets, handcuffs, a ski mask, rope and a machete.
Oxford Police stopped Diaz-Zavala in a separate vehicle on the same date and recovered a security guard badge, two shirts emblazoned with FBI, and a duty belt with handcuffs and a holster. . .
Lopez-Benegas told investigators that a friend had called him in early March wanting him to travel to Alabama to do a security job that would pay him $60,000. . . The job was supposedly arranged through a security company, owned by the friend's boss, who Lopez-Benegas knew as an enforcer and debt collector for drug organizations. The job involved taking a safe from occupants at an Alabama residence and once the residence and safe were secured, Lopez-Benegas and his associates were to turn over the occupants to the boss. . .

Why wait? Start those deportation hearings right now.
Perhaps we should all send this report to the imbecile Washington State Federal judge.
Not even a slap on the wrist.In NJ that would be a 10 year minimum plus at least 5 for the weapon. Why don’t they start to deport now so they can ship these scum out of the country as soon as prison is done?
Let the riots begin - the horror of it all....
At least now we can be sure they will be deported.
I disagree with pleading this down to one charge. These guys were going to kidnap and transport across state lines someone who would likely have been executed.
One whole year? Darn good thing they weren’t citizens.
Apparently the judge has a soft spot for drug gang hit men.
A YEAR AND A DAY ????? I hope border enforcement is a hell of a lot more stringent and effective a year from now or these guys will be back in the USofA and back to their kidnapping ops. I am sure they are specialists.
deport the Islamics!
NOW!
and shut down their various front groups and apologists...
including SorozNazi...

One year! What a f-ing joke. An America citizen would be facing a chunk of his life in prison for this. Showing weakness and leniency emboldens the bad guys further.
Everyone involved with the drug cartels should be dropped on the Mexican side of the border from 20,000 feet.
