Clinton J. Johnson U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma
A Mexican national has been sentenced in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for drug and firearm offenses. U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson announced that Marcos Javier Suazo-Mancilla, 23, received a sentence of 270 months imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release.
The Drug Enforcement Administration began investigating a drug trafficking organization in October 2024, suspected of distributing methamphetamine and cocaine in the Tulsa area. A search warrant executed at a residence where Suazo-Mancilla was found led to the discovery of approximately 26 pounds of methamphetamine, 41 grams of cocaine, seven firearms, and over $9k in cash. Further investigation revealed that an auto body shop rented by the organization contained an additional 39 pounds of methamphetamine.
Suazo-Mancilla had previously been removed from the United States in August 2018. He will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and is expected to face removal proceedings following his sentence.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Nasar prosecuted the case.
This prosecution is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative utilizing Department of Justice resources to combat illegal immigration and dismantle cartels and transnational criminal organizations.
