Deported Child Sex Offender Again Caught Crossing California Border

Agents assigned to the Yuma Border Patrol station on April 20, apprehended a man who illegally crossed the Mexican border into California about two miles west of the Andrade Port of Entry, according to information obtained from Yuma Sector Border Patrol officials. The agents arrested the man on immigration violations and transported him to the San Luis Port of Entry in Arizona for processing.

During a biometric background investigation, the agents learned the migrant has both a criminal and immigration history. Computer records show that the 28-year-old Honduran national received a conviction and a two-year prison sentence from a court in San Francisco, California, in 2019 for having sex with a minor, Yuma Sector Border Patrol officials stated.

The agents checked further and discovered that officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations deported the man on at least two separate occasions.

The criminal alien could face federal felony charges of illegal re-entry after removal as a child sex offender. If charged and convicted, he could face up to 20 years in federal prison.
