Juan Wilquin Hernandez-Bourdier/Dominican Republic/Drug Trafficking

ICE New Orleans officers arrested Juan Wilquin Hernandez-Bourdier, a citizen of the Dominican Republic, during enforcement operations targeting criminal aliens. Hernandez-Bourdier’s criminal history includes a federal conviction for conspiracy to possess and distribute one kilogram or more of a controlled substance. For this offense, he was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison.

The conviction reflects his direct involvement in large-scale narcotics trafficking, with case files documenting his role in handling distribution amounts that exceeded standard thresholds for federal prosecution. Following his sentencing, Hernandez-Bourdier served time in a federal facility before being transferred to ICE custody.

ICE officials confirmed his identity through biometric checks and criminal case documentation prior to booking him into immigration detention. His record ties him to trafficking activity that placed dangerous substances into U.S. communities. Hernandez-Bourdier is now pending further proceedings before an immigration judge, where the seriousness of his criminal history will weigh heavily on the outcome.
