Del Rio, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to Del Rio Sector arrested two convicted sex offenders shortly after they illegally entered the United States, Dec. 21.
Eagle Pass Station agents arrested a man from Honduras. Record checks revealed that, in 2018, he was convicted of sexual assault of a child and sentenced to four years confinement. The man was most recently removed from the United States in 2020.
Brackettville Station agents arrested a Mexican national who had a previous criminal conviction for lewd or lascivious acts with a minor child under 14, in 1999. The man was sentenced to six years confinement, and most recently removed from the United States in 2019.
“These arrests highlight the importance of border security and what it means for you,” said Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens. “Border Patrol agents stand between good people and those who would do them harm. No matter the circumstances, they remain dedicated to keeping criminals like these out of your communities.”
