Jesus Alexandro Sanchez-Armenta, 23, of Phoenix, was sentenced last month by United States District Judge Diane J. Humetewa to 72 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. Sanchez-Armenta pleaded guilty to Conspiracy to Transport Illegal Aliens for Profit on February 22, 2024.
Sanchez-Armenta coordinated and/or recruited his co-conspirators through social media sites, including Snapchat, to pick up undocumented noncitizens (UNCs) in Southern Arizona and to transport them further into the United States for profit. Sanchez-Armenta provided his co-conspirators with instructions on how and where to pick up the UNCs.
Either he or another member of the conspiracy would provide the co-conspirators with GPS coordinates for where to pick up the UNCs and then provide them with transportation routes designed to circumvent detection by law enforcement.
