Fox News
U.S. Border Patrol agents stationed in the Yuma Sector said they arrested a migrant trying to enter the country on Monday who has felony convictions for first-degree child rape and incest.
Chris T. Clem, the sector’s chief patrol agent, tweeted that Edgar Antonio Gutierrez-Martinez has been turned over to U.S. Marshals to face prosecution. He posted a photo of the suspect in the backseat of a van. Border Patrol did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.
CBS 13 reported that agents encountered Gutierrez-Martinez on Monday and learned about the convictions during a background check.
The arrest underscores the safety concerns at the border during the surge in migration.
