OTTAWA — A man accused of slaughtering villagers in Guatemala using a grenade, gun and sledgehammer is fighting Canada’s attempt to revoke his citizenship.

Jorge Vinicio Sosa Orantes denies he concealed participation in a 1982 massacre by the Guatemalan military when he obtained Canadian citizenship a decade later.

. . .

He paints himself as an upstanding instructor at a military training school during the period in question, working with local communities in Guatemala to build good relations.

Sosa Orantes, 59, is serving a 10-year sentence for immigration fraud in the United States, where he also held citizenship until it was revoked in 2014.

He was the genius who offered the campesinos his generous choice of "Frijoles y Fusiles," or "Beans and Bullets."

He's hoping to die before they can retry him for genocide, since he slipped out of the first one through a bogus technicality, according to his lawyers.

"Freedom Fighters," trained in the US as you said, were also called the Kaibiles. Here's a picture from a child regarding the impression they made upon Guatemalan children when they were engaged in their mass murders of villagers.
