Two elderly Cuban nationals, Cesar Valdes, 89, and Magdaleno Medina, 73, have been arrested and charged with armed drug trafficking in Miami, a crime that allegedly continued decades after they illegally entered the United States without inspection in May 1980. The arrests followed an undercover operation where an officer purchased cocaine from Medina, leading police to execute a search warrant that uncovered dozens of bags of cocaine and marijuana, ammunition, stolen firearms, and over $4,800 in cash. Both men, who have prior criminal records including drug-related offenses and previous immigration orders of exclusion dating back to the 1990s, are now facing multiple felony charges and are being held in a Miami jail with ICE detainers, with ICE vowing to pursue deportation for criminal illegal immigrants.
