Guatemalan national indicted on weapons charge


(From the U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri)

A Guatemalan National has been indicted by a federal grand jury for illegal possession of a firearm by an illegal alien, and illegal entry into the United States.

Edilberto Gonzalez-Barrera, 40, was charged in a two-count indictment on April 14, 2026. The indictment alleges Gonzalez-Barrera illegally entered the United States without being properly admitted to the country, and illegally possessed of a Sig-Sauer P365X, 9mm firearm.







Under federal statutes, illegal possession of a firearm by an illegal alien, pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(g)(5)(A) and 924 (a)(8) is subject to a sentence of up to 15 years in federal prison without parole. Further, under federal statute, illegal entry in the United States without being properly admitted to the country, pursuant to Title 8, United States Code, Section 1325, is subject to a sentence of up to 6 months imprisonment. The maximum statutory sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Carney. It was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security-Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations, and the Carthage, Missouri, Police Department.

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.

Coming into the United States Illegally is a CRIME... This is the same for every Country in the World - WORLD!!! If you enter any Country Illegally - You will be Arrested, Fined, Imprisoned, and then Deported. Why is this concept so difficult for people to understand. So why do people feel that Illegal Aliens should be allowed to come to our Country, Stay, and Live Off the Taxpayers - while so many people did the right things and came to our Country Legally, and became Legal Citizens of our Great Country.

Yet, here is another Illegal Alien, Edilberto Gonzalez-Barrera, who came to the United States Illegally and somehow precured a Firearm, a Sig-Sauer P365X, 9mm - and several of the Liberals - will be Protesting - Not to Prosecute or Deport him - WHY - MAKES NO SENSE - YOU EITHER BELIEVE IN THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OR YOU DON'T...
