Honduran National Charged with Illegal Re-Entry

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - A Honduran man was indicted by a federal grand jury today for illegally re-entering the United States after he was previously deported.

Armando Guzman-Roque, 40, was charged in a one-count indictment with illegal reentry by a previously removed alien. The indictment, which replaces a criminal complaint filed on June 3, 2025, charges that Guzman-Roque had been removed from the United States at least twice previously, on Sept. 17, 2007, and Nov. 14, 2008.

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.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Carney and was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement - Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations.
