A Honduran citizen has been charged in federal court after allegedly crashing a vehicle into a barricade outside the Pensacola, Florida, Navy base and unlawfully entering the base while evading law enforcement, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Orly Moises Garcia Hernandez, 34, faces charges of unlawfully entering military, Naval, or Coast Guard property, and resisting or impeding arrest by a federal officer, as stated by the DOJ in a news release.
On May 25, Garcia Hernandez is accused of crashing into a barricade at a checkpoint at the Naval Air Station Pensacola gate and subsequently fleeing from military forces onto the base to evade capture.

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).
