Guatemalan Indicted for Illegal Re-Entry in Kansas

New Orleans, Louisiana – The District of Kansas has landed a major bust with the indictment of EMNER ISAIAS NAJERA-NAJERA, a 41-year-old native of Guatemala, for illegal re-entry after removal. According to federal prosecutors, NAJERA-NAJERA was charged on March 19, 2026, under Title 8, United States Code, Section 1326(a), which pertains to the illegal re-entry of removed aliens.

NAJERA-NAJERA’s arrest comes after an investigation that uncovered his brazen attempt to sneak back into the country. Federal agents have been on the lookout for individuals who evade removal orders and attempt to return, making it a top priority case.

The feds are not taking any chances with border security. NAJERA-NAJERA’s case highlights the ongoing struggle against illegal immigration and the commitment of federal prosecutors to uphold the law. The charges against him carry serious consequences if he is convicted.

Under the current law, a conviction for illegal re-entry can result in up to two years in federal prison, as well as fines and removal proceedings. Federal prosecutors are expected to seek the maximum penalty in this case, sending a strong message about the seriousness of violating immigration laws.

NAJERA-NAJERA’s case is currently pending before the District of Kansas, where he will face the music for his illegal actions. The court date has yet to be set, but it’s expected that NAJERA-NAJERA will appear in court soon to answer to these serious charges.

The Guatemalan national’s arrest and indictment underscore the persistent effort by federal prosecutors to protect the integrity of U.S. immigration laws. It serves as a stark reminder to those who might consider evading removal orders that they face severe legal consequences if caught.
