Description:
Two Mexican Brothers Plead Guilty To Illegally Reentering The Country
Juan Hurtado-Solano, 43, and his brother Candido Hurtado-Solano, 39, both pleaded guilty in federal court to illegal reentry by a removed alien. The pleas were announced by John P. Heekin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
U.S. Attorney Heekin said: "President Donald J. Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have made enforcing our nation's immigration laws a top priority, and my office stands ready to fulfill that priority. These charges should be a warning to all illegal aliens that violations of our nation's immigration laws will not be taken lightly by my office.â€
Court documents reflect that both brothers were first encountered by immigration officials in May 2012 following Candido's arrest for driving under the influence. Both brothers were determined to be in the United States illegally and were removed to Mexico in August 2012. Both brothers illegally re-entered and were removed a second time in September 2012. They were most recently found in the country on May 29, 2025, during the execution of a search warrant at a construction site in Tallahassee.
Both men face up to two years in prison followed by removal from the United States.
The cases involved an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Justin Keen and James A. McCain.
Candido Hurtado-Solano's sentencing is scheduled for July 11, 2025, at 11:30 am at the United States Courthouse in Tallahassee before United States District Judge Mark E. Walker. Juan Hurtado-Solano's sentencing has yet to be scheduled but will occur before Chief United States District Judge Allen C. Winsor in Tallahassee.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America (https://www.justice.gov/dag/media/1393746/dl?inline ) a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
