The individual is a key leader of a Guatemala-based transnational criminal organization.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced sanctions against Jumilca Sandivel Hernandez Perez, a leader in a Guatemala-based Transnational Criminal Organization that has smuggled thousands of illegal aliens into the United States. She also has ties to the La Linea drug-trafficking organization that murdered nine Americans, including six children, in Mexico in 2019.
“Today’s action underscores the Trump Administration’s commitment to targeting the criminal actors like Hernandez Perez and the Lopez Human Smuggling Organization, that perpetuate the illegal migration crisis and threaten the safety and security of Americans,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “Treasury is committed to using all available tools to disrupt these criminal schemes and hold the perpetrators accountable.”
The Treasury Department stated that the sanctions mean that “all property and interests in property of the designated persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Bessent to receive God’s wisdom as he heads the Treasury Department.
- For Acting Under Secretary Bradley Smith as he oversees the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and OFAC.
