    PHOENIX, Ariz. (KVOA) - The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona has charged 314 individuals with immigration-related crimes in a focused operation from May 3 to May 9, 2025. These charges include 117
    illegal re-entry cases and 166 illegal entry cases.

    The operation, part of Operation Take Back America, also targeted
    smuggling activities, filing 25 cases involving 31 individuals. This
    initiative aims to curb illegal immigration and dismantle criminal organizations.

    Federal agencies including ICE, U.S. Border Patrol, and the FBI
    supported these efforts. Significant cases include the arrest of Marco
    Antonio Ruelas-Solis, found with a firearm in Tonto National Forest, and Clayton Line Wilhite, charged after a vehicle chase near an immigration checkpoint.

    Authorities emphasize that criminal complaints are not evidence of
    guilt. "An individual is presumed innocent until evidence is presented
    to a jury that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt," the
    official document stated.
