Mario Clifford Rivera, an MS-13 gang member, has been sentenced to 17 years for overseeing a fentanyl trafficking operation from inside a Florida prison. Prosecutors detailed how Rivera used the US Postal Service to smuggle over three kilograms of fentanyl from Mexico to Florida while allegedly continuing to manage his drug operation behind bars with contraband cell phones. Authorities emphasized the importance of this case as a deterrent against gang activities that promote drug distribution and damage communities.
Rivera's 17-year federal prison sentence should serve as a warning to MS-13 and other terrorist gangs who seek to flood our communities with deadly poisons like fentanyl.
