Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, argues that House Republicans will be engaged in fixing the ‘disaster’ along the southern border.
An illegal immigrant from Guatemala who was identified by Virginia authorities as part of July 4 mass shooting plot was sentenced Thursday to 5.5 months in prison for re-entering the United States illegally after being deported.
Rolman Balcarcel-Bavagas, 38, was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court after pleading guilty to the charge in August. He does not face any charges related to the alleged mass shooting plot.
Federal prosecutors said Balcarcel-Bavagas illegally entered the U.S. three times and was deported twice. He will be deported back to Guatemala after serving his prison term.
In July, Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith said Balcarcel-Bavagas and Julio Alvarado Dubon, 52, planned a mass shooting at the Dogwood Dell Amphitheater, where a July 4 fireworks celebration was being held.
The alleged plot was foiled by a tipster who called the police, authorities said.
Federal prosecutors said they lack evidence to prove Balcarcel-Bavagas was part of a mass shooting plot, according to court documents.
