Mexican National Extradited from Canada Pleads Guilty to Drug Trafficking Conspiracy A Mexican national extradited from Canada has pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute and distributing narcotics in and around the Portland area. According to court documents, 34-year-old Jesus Alberto Hernandez-Guizar, also known as 'H' or 'Alberto', was extradited from Canada in February of this year and made his initial appearance in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. Hernandez-Guizar subsequently pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute controlled substances, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. As part of his guilty plea, Hernandez-Guizar admitted to conspiring with others to distribute large quantities of narcotics in the Portland area and elsewhere in Oregon. Court records indicate that the conspiracy spanned several years, resulting in the distribution of substantial amounts of controlled substances. In a statement to the court, Hernandez-Guizar acknowledged his role in the conspiracy, stating that he had worked with others to transport and sell narcotics in the Portland area. Hernandez-Guizar further admitted that he had been aware that the narcotics were being distributed in the United States, and that he had profited from his involvement in the conspiracy. US Attorney for the District of Oregon, Scott Erik Asphaug, praised law enforcement agencies for their efforts in bringing Hernandez-Guizar to justice. "This guilty plea marks a significant achievement in our ongoing efforts to disrupt and dismantle large-scale narcotics trafficking organizations," Asphaug stated. Hernandez-Guizar's guilty plea carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a $1 million fine, and a period of supervised release of at least 5 years. Hernandez-Guizar is currently being held in the Multnomah County Detention Center pending sentencing. The investigation was led by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with the assistance of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.
