Former Guatemalan special forces soldier arrested for masking role in 1982 massacre of Guatemalan villagers on Immigration forms

WASHINGTON - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a former Guatemalan special forces soldier today in Palm Beach County, Fla., for lying on his naturalization application about his participation in a 1982 massacre at a Guatemalan village known as Las Dos Erres. Gilberto Jordan, 54, of Delray Beach, Fla., was arrested by ICE special agents in West Palm Beach, based on a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, which charges him with unlawful procurement of naturalized U.S. citizenship. The former Guatemalan soldier allegedly lied to U.S. immigration authorities in his naturalization application about his past foreign military service and criminal role in the Dos Erres massacre.
