Bryan Bautista Duarte/Guatemala/Domestic Violence, Assault

Guatemalan national Bryan Josue Bautista Duarte, a criminal illegal alien, was arrested in Worthington, Minnesota, after local police again took him into custody on a domestic assault case tied to a pattern of violence and threats. Court and jail records show Bautista Duarte previously sentenced in Nobles County District Court for felony domestic assault, while a separate report describes him threatening to burn down a victim’s home and repeatedly stalking and menacing the same person.

In January 2025, Worthington police booked Bautista Duarte into the county jail on fresh domestic assault allegations, with jail logs listing him as “unsentenced – domestic assault by strangulation” and held for further action. His repeated domestic-violence and assaultive conduct has drawn federal attention, and officials are now weighing those convictions and pending charges alongside his immigration status as they determine whether he will remain detained and eventually be removed from the United States.
