Death Records Now

HARRISONBURG — A man caught in Shenandoah County smuggling 10 illegal aliens in a small SUV will serve three years in prison.

Oliver Leonel Sanchez Ortiz, 23, of Mexico, was sentenced on Feb. 24 in U.S. District Court to 36 months in prison for transporting illegal aliens. U.S. District Judge Samuel G. Wilson placed him on supervised release for three years, according to online court records.

Sanchez Ortiz was sitting in the passenger seat of the Buick Rendezvous when a state trooper pulled it over on Interstate 81 south of Edinburg on Oct. 7, according to an affidavit filed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Souders said the trooper described the passengers as being "stuffed in there like a can of sardines."

"There were 11 of them in a Buick Rendezvous, and seat belts for five," Souders said. "There were at least three in the cargo area of the Rendezvous."

The ICE affidavit says that the 10 men were smuggled across the border at Arizona by a "coyote."

"Upon arrival in Arizona, another Coyote escorted the 10 to a house in Mesa, Arizona (the ‘Drop House’)," the statement says. "At the Drop House, the 10 were not free to leave until they paid the first half of the smuggling fee, which ranged from $1,000 to $1,400; they were locked inside the house while the Coyotes awaited payment."

Sanchez Ortiz then picked them up and headed toward New York, where another payment was to be made, according to the affidavit.

Large sums of money weren’t found on the smuggled men, Souders said, and the initial payments were mostly made by relatives. He said the government doesn’t have evidence directly connecting Sanchez Ortiz to a larger criminal organization.

An unpleasant smell was coming from the vehicle, according to Souders.

"The window was rolled down — I don’t even think it was rolled all the way down — there was a smell of body odor that was sort of permeating from the car that [the trooper] could smell from a foot or two away from the window," he said. "They had traveled over 2,200 miles, all in that vehicle. The trooper found what he believed to be plastic bottles filled with urine in the vehicle."

Souders said Wilson actually went above the voluntary sentencing guidelines when sentencing Sanchez Ortiz. The risk of death or serious bodily injury justified the greater punishment, he said.

According to online court records, 12 additional counts against Sanchez Ortiz were dropped as part of a plea agreement.

"The defendant had previously been removed from the country four times, but none was an official administrative removal or deportation," Souders said. "They were all from closer to the border."

Three of the men from the vehicle received sentences ranging from time served to 10 months in jail for illegal re-entry, according to court records.

"Human smuggling networks extend well beyond our borders into the interior of our country," John P. Torres, ICE special agent in charge in Washington, says in a news release from U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy’s office. "These smuggling organizations not only put those they are smuggling at risk, but also put the American public at risk."

You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting one.

A man in jail facing a manslaughter charge in the death of a Mesa teen was indicted earlier this month on three counts of felony forgery.Manuel Contreras-Galdean is awaiting trial in the November 2008 death of Kelly Tracy, who was a student at Gilbert’s Highland High School.After his arrest, a deputy went to Contreras-Galdean’s Apache Junction workplace, SAK-Electric and Plumbing, 56 S. Meridian Road, to investigate Contreras-Galdean’s background. That visit led to Contreras-Galdean’s brother, Leonel Contreras-Galdean, 30, being arrested on suspicion of forgery and identity theft. Two others were also arrested.

On June 4, a Maricopa County grand jury charged Manuel Contreras-Galdean with three separate forgery counts: October 2003, November 2004 and September 2007. Two of the charges are related to verification of employment forms. The third charge is related to Arizona’s employee withholding form.

If found guilty, Manuel Contreras-Galdean could face probation or between one and two-and-a-half years in jail for each felony forgery count.

Manuel Contreras-Galdean has admitted to being an illegal immigrant who once voluntarily returned to Mexico after being picked up by authorities following a traffic stop in New Mexico.

According to court records, he pleaded not guilty to the forgery charges on June 15.

He has also pleaded not guilty to the aggravated assault and manslaughter charges he faces from the Nov. 15 crash in Mesa that killed Highland band member Kelly Tracy and injured her brother, Matt.

Mesa police say Manuel Contreras-Galdean was impaired by alcohol when he failed to yield as he was making a left turn at the intersection of Sossaman and Guadalupe roads.

According to court records, the 12-day manslaughter and aggravated assault trial is expected to start in October. Court records state he was offered a plea bargain for 10.5 years in jail. The plea bargain is set to expire in July. He could face up to 20 years in jail for the manslaughter charge alone.

Isn’t it amazing how pro-illegal aliens can post stuff like this about Americans and it’s cheered. Put the truth up about illegals and we are lower than scum. The truth does hurt.

I think they need to stop coddling these imbeciles and take them out back and shoot them. Why waste the time arresting them if the court system isn’t going to adequately punish them. I hope they ALL fry!
