Breaking: An illegal migrant store owner in Oregon has been arrested and charged for laundering MILLIONS of dollars in narcotics trafficking money to Mexico. Jose Alonso Paramo Arguello, 45, a citizen of Mexico, has been accused of using his three businesses to transfer drug money to Mexico — a common tactic used by the terrorist Cartels. He allegedly broke down transactions into smaller amounts and used fake names and addresses for the money senders to conceal the true nature of the funds, court documents state. Arguello is the owner and operator of two Tienda Santa Maria II stores, with one location in Phoenix, Oregon and another in Medford, Oregon. He also owns the Paramos Barber Shop in Central Point, Oregon. Arguello allegedly transferred more than $13 million of drug money through these stores, with transactions as recent as January 2026. A federal judge denied him bail during his arraignment on Wednesday.
