Albertville real estate agent accused in violent illegal alien smuggling enterprise
Albertville Real Estate Agent Charged in Alien Smuggling Case
Arely Guzman, a 28-year-old real estate agent from Albertville, faces federal charges for her alleged involvement in a violent criminal enterprise that smuggled illegal aliens into the United States. Prosecutors are accusing Guzman of conspiracy to transport illegal aliens, with claims that her criminal activities date back to June 2024. Court documents reveal that these actions contributed to severe incidents, including the aggravated shooting of an illegal alien in Houston, extortion, and hostage-taking.
The case against Guzman escalated after authorities seized her phone in May during an investigation led by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, prompted by reports of assault and threats against a victim who refused to pay the organization. A review of her phone uncovered evidence of her involvement in smuggling individuals, notably Chinese nationals.
Authorities believe the criminal enterprise was orchestrated by incarcerated individual Santoyo Guzman, with Arely playing a role in facilitating financial operations. In addition to federal charges, Guzman is facing multiple state charges in DeKalb County, including doxing an ICE agent, unlawful possession of meth, and illegal firearm possession. She is set to appear in court on December 31 and is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This case highlights the growing concerns regarding human smuggling and its intertwining with local businesses.
