(From the U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri)A Guatemalan national illegally residing in the Taney County, Missouri area, was sentenced today in federal court for one count of Illegal Possession of a Firearm by an Illegal Immigrant, and Illegal Entry into the United States.
Edilberto Gonzalez-Barrera, 40, was sentenced today before District Court Judge Douglas Harpool for the offense of an illegal immigrant in possession of a firearm and illegally entering the United States. Gonzalez-Barrera was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and one year of post release supervision, and will be deported to his native country of Guatemala immediately upon his release from prison.
On March 29, 2026, officers with the Branson, Missouri Police Department responded to Cox Hospital in Branson, in response to a male who had come into the hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound. Officers learned that Mr. Gonzalez-Barrera, an individual who illegally entered the United States, had possessed a firearm, and as he was cleaning the firearm, it accidentally discharged, shooting the lower end of one of his fingers off.
Upon determining that Mr. Gonzalez-Barrera was illegally within the United States, local law enforcement contacted agents with the Department of Homeland Security – Immigration Customs Enforcement. Agents responded and determined that Mr. Guzman-Guerra was illegally in the United States, as he was a citizen of Guatemala, without permission to enter or remain within the United States.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Carney. It was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security-Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Branson, Missouri Police Department.

Here we go again, another Illegal Alien - with a gun, for all you leftist liberals where do you think he got that gun - do you think we should be giving all these Illegal Aliens, free housing, free medical, free food, free education, monthly stipends, free cell phones, and drivers licenses on the backs of the hard-working taxpayers - if you do you need all your heads examined!
659 sounds like MAGAT dribble to me! Don't judge you peace of magat malarkey! This guy came here to support his family, he loves america more than you do! This country shouldnt have boarders at all, no other country has boarders why do racist Ruplcianskkks want boarders!?/
With more than 500 million privately owned guns in the USA it truly is a mystery hoiw any of them can ever get into the wrong hands.
How do these guns keep getting into the hands of a child, or a convicted felon, or into the hands of a domestic abuser (whoops MAGA says that's now allowed again!) into the hands of a drug dealer, into the hands of a wanna be mass shooter of some flavor.
The only people it's still a mystery to are the clueless gun
7:54 complete nonsense, I bet you lock your door every night, I don’t know why you would it’s no different, walls, borders, doors, barriers, all keep the trash out but it also keeps the trash in. I bet you don’t even pay taxes or vote.
7:54 It’s “border”, you illiterate, uneducated liberal. “Boarders” are people who pay to live somewhere.
It’s amazing how dangerous some guns are, but mine have never killed a human, maybe I got a bad one or it’s broken. It’s not a mystery to me genius, it sounds exactly like something a criminal would do… you know break the law…
