Deported Man Gets 10 Years for Meth, Ammo in Miami

A man previously deported from the United States received a 10-year federal prison sentence for methamphetamine trafficking, unlawful ammunition possession, and illegally reentering the country. The sentencing occurred Oct. 9, 2026, in Miami-Dade County.

The individual, whose name was not released, was convicted of possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute. He also faced conviction for unlawfully possessing ammunition, indicating he was a prohibited person, likely due to prior felony convictions.

The defendant illegally reentered the U.S. after a previous deportation. The 120-month sentence reflects the combined severity of these crimes.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida prosecuted the case, focusing on enforcing federal laws and ensuring public safety.
