Sergio Sanchez Navarro/Mexico/Heroin Trafficking

Federal immigration authorities arrested criminal illegal alien Sergio Sanchez Navarro in Rochester, Minnesota, following convictions for heroin trafficking and illegal reentry after removal. Sanchez Navarro, a Mexican national, was previously found guilty of selling heroin and later of unlawfully returning to the United States in violation of federal immigration law.

Heroin trafficking is prosecuted as a serious felony narcotics offense that typically involves the sale or intent to distribute an opioid classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. The illegal reentry conviction reflects that Sanchez Navarro returned to the country after a prior deportation, an offense that carries enhanced penalties when combined with serious drug-trafficking history.

Sanchez Navarro remains in federal detention while officials review his immigration record and proceed with formal removal proceedings.
