An illegal alien from Mexico with a significant U.S. criminal history was convicted on Oct. 16 for stealing the identity of a deceased U.S. citizen and fraudulently obtaining a U.S. passport.

In October 2024, a federal grand jury indicted Vidal Blanco-Blas, 62, for false statements in application and use of a United States Passport and aggravated identity theft. After a three-day trial and approximately two hours of deliberation, a jury convicted him on both counts.

According to evidence presented at trial, Blanco-Blas entered the U.S. over 40 years ago, using the stolen identity of a deceased U.S. citizen, Julio Cesar Torres — an infant who passed away in Mexico at approximately 3 months old. Once in the U.S., Blanco-Blas utilized the infant’s identity to illegally obtain a Social Security number, State of Texas driver’s license, voter registration card, and U.S. passport.

“Exploiting the identity of a deceased American infant to sneak into the U.S and conceal a decades-long life of crime and fraud is an appalling act that undermines the integrity of our immigration system and erodes trust in our nation’s most vital security documents,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould. “Identity fraud of this magnitude endangers national security, and this office will aggressively pursue anyone who seeks to manipulate our systems or compromise the security of the United States.”

Blanco-Blas has a significant criminal history in the U.S. He was previously convicted and sentenced to 84 months for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, 120 months for possession of marijuana, and 21 months for possession with intent to distribute up to 30 kilograms of marijuana under his stolen identity.
