EL CENTRO, TX – On Monday night, U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro Sector arrested an undocumented individual with a prior sexual offense conviction.
The record checks revealed that one of the individuals had been convicted of a sexual offense and had previously been ordered removed from the U.S. by an immigration judge. This individual will face federal charges.
It was estimated that two individuals illegally entered the United States three miles east of the Calexico Port of Entry and were approximately one mile north of the United States/Mexico border when agents apprehended them at approximately 10:16 p.m. The individuals were placed under arrest and transported to the El Centro Sector Processing Center after agents determined that they did not possess the proper documentation to be legally present in the United States.
Four individuals with prior charges of sexual offenses have been arrested and/or removed from the El Centro Sector Border Patrol since Oct. 1, 2022.
