A former member of the Guatemalan army who is wanted

A former member of the Guatemalan army who is wanted for participating in the Dos Erres massacre nearly four decades ago, was removed Tuesday by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Miami.
Gilberto Jordan, 64, arrived in Guatemala escorted by ERO officers on board an ICE Air Operations charter removal flight. Upon their arrival Jordan was immediately turned over to Guatemalan law enforcement officials.
According to court documents, when Jordan applied to become a U.S. citizen in September 1996, he falsely denied that he had ever served in the military or committed any crimes for which he had not been arrested. In July 1999, when Jordan was interviewed by a naturalization examiner in connection with his naturalization application, he falsely swore under oath that the answers he had provided earlier on his application were true and correct. Jordan was sworn in as a U.S. citizen on Aug. 25, 1999.
In May 2010, Homeland Security Investigations in Palm Beach arrested Jordan for failing to disclose his prior military service and involvement in the killings on his citizenship application. The Department of Justice’s Human Rights Special Prosecutions Section prosecuted this case and in July 2019 Jordan plead guilty, admitting that he had been a Kaibil in the Guatemalan military who participated in the massacre at Dos Erres. Jordan also admitted that the first person he killed at Dos Erres was a baby, whom he murdered by throwing in the well. Jordan was sentenced in Sept. 2010 to 10 years in federal prison and had his citizenship revoked. HSI’s investigation in this case was featured in the film Finding Oscar.
