Illegal immigrant pleads guilty: An illegal immigrant from Mexico, who was allegedly dealing drugs while living in Souderton, admitted in federal court this week that he re-entered the United States illegally after having previously been deported.

Alfredo Gasca-Chavez, 28, pleaded guilty to illegal reentry after deportation and possessing a firearm by an illegal alien.

Gasca-Chavez was deported in 2008. But in May authorities found him living in a Souderton apartment and allegedly dealing drugs.

Law enforcement that raided the apartment found a handgun beneath Gasca-Chavez's bed and 200 grams of marijuana, according to authorities.

The drug charges were being prosecuted in Montgomery County, but court records indicate the case is now "inactive."

Gasca-Chavez faces possible prison time and then deportation in connection with the federal charges to which he pleaded guilty. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 22.
