According to Acting U.S. Attorney Kurt R. Erskine, the charges and other information presented in court: On June 1, 2020, Homeland Security Investigations agents began conducting surveillance at a warehouse in McDonough. During the second day, HSI agents saw a semi-tractor trailer arrive at the warehouse. The trailer was then unhooked and the semi-tractor that was pulling the trailer drove off. According to Homeland Security databases, the trailer was taken across the border into the United States from Mexico on May 20, 2020.

So Now we get to house and feed the two in jail for 5 (1 yr) then they will be on supervised probation.....??? If they are here illegally how does that work? Will the two not go back to Mexico? Oh that’s it we will supervise them walking in and out of America commuting more crime....Sounds like a really easy pathetic punishment...The real question is WTH will law enforce due with all those Kilo’s Millions of Dollars worth.....No way do they destroy it Ha!
