Mexican illegal alien pleads guilty to cocaine trafficking in N.J. federal court

Another bad guy who shouldn’t have been here in the first place is now facing justice, Save Jerseyans.

Earlier this month, Mexican national Anastacio Santiago Chaparro plead guilty before the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey to possession of cocaine with an intent to distribute as well as illegal rentry into the country by a convicted felon.

“Our collaboration with the DEA in this investigation thwarted this criminal alien’s plan to introduce a harmful amount of cocaine into New Jersey’s neighborhoods,” explained ICE HSI Newark Special Agent in Charge Ricky J. Patel. “We are committed to keeping our communities safe by bringing drug traffickers to justice and holding them accountable for the violent crimes that often come with their illicit business.”

Here’s the kicker:

Santiago Chaparro had reportedly been deported to Mexico three times and, prior to this recent prosecution, he was convicted of being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm which is an aggravated felony.
