Honduran national charged after entering Florida Navy base illegally following crash: DOJ

A Honduran national has been charged in federal court after allegedly crashing a vehicle into a barricade outside the Pensacola, Florida, Navy base and entering the base illegally while running from law enforcement, as reported by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Charged with illegally entering a military, Naval, or Coast Guard property and resisting or impeding arrest by a federal officer, 34-year-old Orly Moises Garcia Hernandez faces legal consequences for his actions, according to a DOJ press release.

According to the allegations, Garcia Hernandez collided with a barricade outside a checkpoint at the Naval Air Station Pensacola gate on May 25. Subsequently, he fled military personnel and managed to enter the base grounds in an attempt to avoid being captured.

The DOJ said the case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that streamlines efforts and resources within the Department of Homeland Security to not just crack down on illegal immigration but also achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and protect our communities from the “perpetrators of violent crimes.”

The operation also streamlines efforts and resources from the DHS’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
