California inmate gets 5 years for drone drug delivery scheme
June 4 (UPI) -- A Pleasant Valley State Prison inmate in California will spend five more years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to possess and distribute illicit drugs via drone deliveries in 2021. Michael Ray Acosta, from May 23 to Aug. 27, 2021, coordinated several drone deliveries of methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana from inside the state prison, Acting U.S. Attorney Michele Beckwith announced on Tuesday. Acosta used a contraband cellphone to schedule the drug deliveries that four co-conspirators delivered by flying drones over the prison and dropped packages that Acosta and others would recover, Beckwith said. The packages included drugs, cellphones, cellphone accessories and other items during what federal investigators dubbed "Operation Night Drop." Accomplice Jose Oropeza is scheduled for sentencing on charges arising from the drone drug deliveries on July 28. Alleged accomplice David Ramirez Jr. is expected to plead guilty on July 29, and Joshua Gonzalez and Rosendo Ramirez have court appearances scheduled on June 11. The four are accused of flying the drones that made the drug deliveries. Investigators with the FBI, Federal Aviation Administration, Drug Enforcement Agency and the California Department of Corrections investigated the case. The prison is located in Central California's Fresno County and about 55 miles southwest of Fresno. A prison record says Acosta is 50, but the Department of Justice's press release indicates he is 48. Neither the DOJ nor the prison record says why Acosta already was imprisoned or for how long.

U.S. State Department Issues First Travel 'Warning' of June
The U.S. Department of State has issued its first travel advisory of June. May was a busy month for the U.S. Department of State. Several countries in Europe, including Belgium, Italy and Switzerland, received travel advisories. Even though Italy is considered a popular travel destination in the summer, there are serious concerns about terrorist attacks. Additionally, the U.S Department of State issued a Level 4 warning for Somalia. That means Americans should avoid traveling there at all costs. "Do not travel to Somalia due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health, kidnapping, piracy, and lack of availability of routine consular services," the U.S. said. "Due to security risks, U.S. government employees working in Somalia are prohibited from traveling outside the Mogadishu International Airport complex where the U.S. Embassy is located. The U.S. Embassy in Mogadishu maintains normal staffing." The latest country that has received a travel advisory resides in West Asia. On June 3, the U.S Department of State issued a Level 1 warning for Qatar. That's the lowest advisory level for safety and security risks. "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) and/or a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for the region, including Qatar," the Department of State's travel advisory states. "This is due to risks to civil aviation from political and military tensions in the region. The notice advises U.S. operators to review current threat information and to report safety or security incidents. For more information, U.S. citizens should consult the Federal Aviation Administration." If Americans travel to Qatar in the near future, they should keep travel documents up-to-date, sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), and read the Country Security Report for Qatar.
