Gang Members, Sex Offenders Arrested near Border in Texas and Arizona, by
Bob Price, 12/24/18, Breitbart. Border Patrol agents in Arizona and
Texas stopped multiple previously deported sex offenders and members of violent
gangs from making their way into the U.S. interior in the past week.
Nogales Station agents arrested a Honduran national after he
illegally crossed the border near Nogales, Arizona. Agents transported
51-year-old Hector Gustavo Montoya-Irias to the station, where they carried out
a biometric background investigation on the man, according to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection.
The records check revealed an extensive criminal history and
membership in the dangerous 18th Street gang. Most recently, a court convicted
the man for drug smuggling offenses and sentenced him to 24 months in prison.
Immigration officers deported the man to Honduras. His record includes more
than 10 previous removals from the U.S., officials stated. His record of
deportations dates back to 1993.
Agents assigned to the Eagle Pass Station arrested a Honduran
national who illegally crossed the border near Eagle Pass, Texas, on December
18. The agents carried out a background investigation on the migrant and
learned he is a confirmed member of the violent Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang.
Records also show that immigration officers previously removed the migrant.
“Border
Patrol agents routinely encounter dangerous individuals while on duty securing
our borders,” Del Rio Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Matthew J. Hudak said in
a written statement. “The men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol are committed
to stopping any threat to the safety and security of our nation.”
Ajo Station Border Patrol agents came upon an illegal immigrant
from Mexico on December 19 after he crossed the border near Lukeville, Arizona.
Agents arrested and transported him to the station to undergo a biometric
background investigation.
The agents identified the migrant as a
46-year-old Mexican national with a prior conviction in 2002 for unlawful
sexual conduct of a minor. A court in Mesa, Arizona, handed down the
conviction.
Del Rio Sector agents also arrested a
previously deported sex offender that same day. The Honduran national illegally
crossed the border near Eagle Pass. A New Brunswick, New Jersey, court
previously convicted the now 26-year-old male in 2012 and sentenced him to 255
days in prison for sexually fondling a child. Immigration officers deported the
man in 2013.
The following day, Nogales Station agents
apprehended a 24-year-old Salvadoran national. Records pulled by the agents
uncovered the man’s membership in the MS-13 gang who had previously been
deported.
Breitbart News has
reported extensively on previously
deported sex offenders and other criminal
aliens who are stopped by Border Patrol agents from
successfully re-entering the United States.
