Border Patrol agents in Texas on Monday nabbed two illegal immigrant child sex offenders in less than two hours – the latest apprehension of illegal immigrants with criminal convictions.
A records check revealed the man was a registered sex offender who was arrested in 2019 for lewd or lascivious acts with a minor under the age of 14. He was convicted and sentenced to 180 days in jail and five years probation earlier this year -- and also has an active warrant in California.
According to CBP, about an hour later Texas Department of Public Safety troopers in Brownsville requested help from agents after a suspect fled during a traffic stop. Border Patrol took the man into custody, and discovered he is a Mexican national who was convicted in 2011 after an arrest for sexual assault on a 12-year-old. He was sentenced to six years in jail and was deported this year.
