Texas City Man Gets more than 3 years for Illegally Possessing a Machine Gun
· Texas Border Business
A 32-year-old man from Texas, Jaleel Filer, has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for illegally possessing and transferring a machine gun. The investigation began in January 2023 when law enforcement linked Filer to the sale of firearms and conversion devices known as 'switches' that turn semi-automatic guns into fully automatic ones. Over five months, authorities conducted undercover purchases, including a deal where Filer sold a firearm with a conversion device for about $2,200. After his sentencing, Filer was taken into custody and will be transferred to a federal prison soon.
