向墨西哥卡特尔走私200多支枪，三人在德州合计获刑474个月
美国司法部11月12日通报，一个十人团伙把200多支枪械走私进墨西哥供给贩毒卡特尔，其中三名成员已在德州 Del Rio 的联邦法院被判刑，刑期合计474个月：39岁的 Edgar Josue Montelongo-Loera 获刑180个月，41岁的墨西哥籍男子 Reymundo Hernandez-Nino 获刑150个月，31岁的 Kenia Lizbeth Montelongo 获刑144个月，判决由首席地区法官 Alia Moses 于11月10日作出。
联邦检察官 Justin R. Simmons 表示，烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）2024年8月接获线索后展开调查。法院文件显示，Kenia Montelongo 在2024年5月17日至7月5日间购买了七支.380口径手枪和一支.22口径手枪；2025年7月14日，一名同伙企图把8支手枪和19个弹匣偷运进墨西哥时被查获，Montelongo-Loera 随后落网。执法人员搜查 Hernandez-Nino 位于 San Antonio 的住所时，起获24支枪、4000多发子弹和防弹衣，这批武器原定运往墨西哥一个贩毒卡特尔。
三人已于今年2月分别认罪：Montelongo-Loera 于2月23日承认共谋贩运枪支，Hernandez-Nino 与 Kenia Montelongo 于2月26日认罪。此案由 ATF 调查、联邦助理检察官 Brett Miner 负责起诉。（来源：美国司法部）
Three Sentenced to a Combined 474 Months for Smuggling More Than 200 Guns to a Mexican Cartel
The U.S. Department of Justice said on November 12 that three members of a ten-person ring that smuggled more than 200 firearms into Mexico for a drug cartel have been sentenced in federal court in Del Rio, Texas, to a combined 474 months in prison: Edgar Josue Montelongo-Loera, 39, of Dallas received 180 months; Reymundo Hernandez-Nino, 41, a Mexican national, received 150 months; and Kenia Lizbeth Montelongo, 31, received 144 months. Chief U.S. District Judge Alia Moses imposed the sentences on November 10.
U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) opened its investigation after receiving information in August 2024. Court records show Kenia Montelongo purchased seven .380-caliber pistols and a .22-caliber pistol between May 17 and July 5, 2024. Montelongo-Loera was arrested on July 14, 2025, after a co-conspirator was caught trying to smuggle eight handguns and 19 magazines into Mexico. A search of Hernandez-Nino's San Antonio residence recovered 24 firearms, more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition and body armor, with the weapons bound for a Mexican drug cartel.
All three pleaded guilty in February: Montelongo-Loera on February 23 to conspiracy to traffic firearms, and Hernandez-Nino and Kenia Montelongo on February 26. The ATF investigated the case and Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Miner prosecuted it. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
