Guatemala Man, 26, Booked in New Mexico on Federal Transfer Charges

Allegedly... Cesar Perez-esteban, a 26-year-old resident of Jalapa, Guatemala, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 5, 2026. He was processed under booking number 2600004572 on a felony charge categorized as all other offenses. Records indicate he was received via a federal transfer and is currently being held without bond. According to federal court records, this detention is associated with the case USA v. Perez-Esteban (2:26-mj-02799), which was filed in the New Mexico District Court on June 4, 2026. A secondary related criminal filing, case number 2:26-cr-02714, was also entered into the court system on June 10, 2026, and marked as terminated the same day. The booking record reflects a transfer from federal authorities to the regional detention facility. The charges are allegations, and Perez-esteban is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
