Illegal Alien Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Possessing, Distributing Fentanyl in Allentown; One of Defendant’s Stash Houses Was Across the Street from an Elementary School @PAAttorneyGen #LehighCoDAO @HSIPhiladelphia justice.gov/usao-edpa/pr/ill…
ALT Statement from David Metcalf, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania: "After entering the United States illegally, the defendant wasted no time in acquiring bulk quantities of fentanyl. He stored tens of thousands of doses of this deadly drug steps from an elementary school — and peddled that fentanyl to as many people as he could, profiting off the misery of addiction. Wilson Rosario has endangered countless Pennsylvanians and repeatedly insulted the rule of law. Today's sentence will keep him behind bars for over a decade, right where he belongs."

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Twenty-four years later, DHS honors the courage and bravery of the 9/11 first responders, the resilience of the survivors, and the steadfast support of the everyday Americans who continue to inspire our work.
DHS was born from this tragedy, and under President Trump and @Sec_Noem, DHS returns to its foundational purpose: safeguarding our homeland.

ALT Text reads: “Protecting our communities from dangerous criminals like Philip Shearer is a top ATF priority. With 14 criminal convictions, including multiple driving under the influence, indecent assault, and a domestic violence conviction, the law duly prohibits him from owning the unregistered short-barrel riffle he manufactured for himself after he was prevented from buying a firearm. Working with Homeland Security Investigations and the United States Attorney’s Office, we are making our communities safer one case at a time.” Eric DeGree, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Philadelphia Field Division.
