Guatemalan National Indicted for Illegally Reentering the United States

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Guatemalan citizen has been indicted for immigration violations in the Western District of Missouri. Francisco Solis-Ralios, 20, was named in a two-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury on July 28, 2026, charging him with possession of a fraudulent immigration document and illegal reentry by a previously deported alien. The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence. Under federal statutes, Sois-Ralios is subject to a sentence of up to ten years in federal prison without parole and deportation, if convicted. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rudolph R. Rhodes IV. It was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Enforcement and Removal Operations. Operation Take Back America This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
