Episode Details

Luis Nino-Moncada, shot by a federal agent in January, has pleaded guilty to damaging federal property — a far less serious charge than the original assault accusation. In exchange, he admitted his illegal status and won’t fight his deportation. Federal prosecutors dropped the deadly weapon charge and acknowledged his clean record, meaning he’ll likely face minimal time in prison — possibly even none if credit for time served is granted. He also agreed to pay over $24,000 in restitution and accept removal. The incident began when Border Patrol agents tried to stop his vehicle during a targeted operation; he allegedly backed into their car repeatedly to flee. Though the Trump administration initially claimed he was part of a violent gang and tried to run them over, prosecutors later dropped that narrative — and the plea deal omits any mention of him attempting to run over officers. Sentencing is set for September 11.
