In a significant development on the frontlines of America's battle against illegal drug trafficking, two individuals residing unlawfully in the United States are now facing federal charges.
This follows the discovery of approximately 120 pounds of illicit substances in their vehicle during a routine traffic stop on Interstate 5 in Linn County, Oregon. This incident aligns with the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to deport illegal immigrant criminals from the nation.
As reported by The Post Millennial, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a press release detailing the events of July 30, 2025. On that day, Oregon State Police officers stopped a vehicle driven by Jesus Campos Roman, a 29-year-old Mexican national, with Eduar David Freites-Mosquera, a 27-year-old Bolivian national, as a passenger.
Both men, residing illegally in the United States, were apprehended and are currently detained without bail.
The traffic stop took a decisive turn when a drug detection dog signaled the presence of narcotics. A thorough search of the vehicle's trunk revealed a staggering cache of drugs: over 110 pounds of methamphetamine, five pounds of cocaine, and four pounds of fentanyl pills.
Roman and Freites-Mosquera now face federal charges, including conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine. Their initial court appearances took place before a US Magistrate Judge, where they were ordered to remain in custody without bail pending further legal proceedings.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), in collaboration with the Oregon State Police, is spearheading the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Huynh of the District of Oregon is leading the prosecution.
