A Honduran, illegal alien named Santos Alfredo Paz-Ruiz was sentenced to nearly 3 years in jail. Paz-Ruiz got 33 months in a federal prison for shooting the son of an off-duty Texas police officer. Of course, the media has gone silent on this story. I guess Santos Alfredo Paz-Ruiz was just another one of those “poor” illegal aliens coming to America for a better life or something.

An illegal alien from Honduras was sentenced to nearly three years in federal prison Monday for shooting the son of an off-duty law enforcement officer.
This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Houston, Texas, with assistance from HSI Boston, HSI Madrid and IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division.
Santos Alfredo Paz-Ruiz, 42, was sentenced Aug. 13 to 33 months in federal prison for firearms violations. On May 10, 2018, Paz-Ruiz pleaded guilty to being an illegal alien unlawfully possessing a firearm.
On Nov. 4, 2017, Paz-Ruiz was confronted by an off-duty law enforcement officer for driving erratically on a rural road in Hardin County, Texas. During the confrontation, Paz-Ruiz brandished a handgun and fired a shot. Paz-Ruiz was then tackled by the off-duty officer’s son and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, the firearm discharged striking the off-duty officer’s son in the ankle. The injury was not life-threatening.
