Guatemala Criminal Employed Illegal Workers in Idaho

BOISE, Idaho — Brayan Adiel Gramajo Reyes, a Guatemalan criminal illegal alien, was arrested by ICE Homeland Security Investigations on February 28th for employing illegal aliens in Idaho. The arrest stems from an investigation into human trafficking practices.

Gramajo faces two counts of encouraging illegal entry of aliens and eight counts of using false statements for employment verification. He also stands accused of unlawfully employing aliens.

According to the HSI, Gramajo lured two unaccompanied alien children from Guatemala with promises of opportunity, only to force them into grueling labor in Idaho. This case highlights the ongoing struggle against human trafficking and illegal employment networks.

‘Rescuing unaccompanied children who are tragically exploited and trafficked is a top priority for HSI,’ said Special Agent in Charge April Miller. ‘Our investigation underscores our commitment to enforce U.S. law and protect every child, while also targeting fraudulent business practices that harm Americans.’

The Trump administration has located over 132,000 unaccompanied alien children who entered the country under similar circumstances. HSI is dedicated to finding the remaining 450,000 children, many of whom were placed with unvetted sponsors who turned out to be smugglers and traffickers.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by human trafficking and illegal employment networks in our communities. ICE will continue to crack down on such activities until every child is safely located and every criminal brought to justice.
