One of the men, who is not a licensed attorney, would allegedly impersonate the other, who is a licensed attorney, in immigration court hearings over the phone, says the US Attorney's office.
68-year-old Jose Maria Guerrero of Olmos Park and 75-year-old Rodolfo Solis Zepeda of San Antonio are each facing one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and five counts of false statements.
Beginning in Dec. 2019, the pair allegedly devised a scheme to have Guerrero, who isn't a licensed attorney, impersonate Zepeda, who is a licensed attorney, inGuerrero had been a licensed attorney in, but resigned from the Texas Bar in 2016 in lieu of disciplinary actions, says the US Attorney's office.
Zepeda, or one of his employees, allegedly gave his law firm’s business number to the immigration court for use during the phone hearings. The call from immigration court was then forwarded to Guerrero’s personal cell. Guerrero then would allegedly claim to be Zepeda and proceed with the hearing, says the US Attorney's office.
Homeland Security Investigations agents identified at least 100 different occasions where Guerrero appeared as Zepeda before immigration courts, according to the US Attorney's office.All the news you need to know, every day
