Border Patrol agents in Texas nab 10 convicted sex offenders crossing the border in a week

Del Rio Sector agents have arrested 95 convicted sex offenders this fiscal year

Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector in Texas arrested 10 convicted sex offenders in a single week as they tried to get into the U.S. illegally – the latest batch of criminals nabbed by agents at the border.

The arrests were made between May 17 and24, Border Patrol said in a statement, with nationals from Honduras and Mexico among those arrested.

The convictions of those apprehended include forcible sexual assault, sexual assault of a child under 14, sexual conduct with a person under 13, statutory rape, second-degree sexual assault of a child, and lewd and lascivious acts with a child.

"The majority of these criminals were apprehended in our sector’s most remote areas, attempting to avoid detection by crossing far from populated areas," Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero said in a statement. "Our agents’ sign cutting and tracking skills were instrumental in capturing these criminals, preventing them from infiltrating our communities."

The arrests come days after Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that agents near Abrams, Texas, arrested a Salvadoran man who had been arrested in Washington for the rape of a child and later convicted and sentenced to 34 months in prison and community service.

The migrant group he was traveling with included one unaccompanied child, CBP said in a release.

Earlier this month, agents in Mission, Texas, arrested a 49-year-old Salvadoran who had entered the U.S. illegally and had a previous conviction for sexual contact of a 9-year-old in New York City. He was sentenced in 2014 to a year in jail for second-degree sexual abuse.

In March, CBP announced the arrest of multiple convicted "sexual predators" caught trying to enter illegally, including some with child sex convictions.

In April, the agency announced that in a span of just two days, it had picked up three convicted child sex offenders among groups of illegal immigrants. One had been charged with aggravated sexual battery of a victim under 13 and was later convicted in Virginia.

In its statement this week, Border Patrol in Del Rio Sector said it has so far arrested 95 convicted sex offenders this fiscal year – a massive 3,166% increase over the same period last year.

After Flagging Gateway Pundit Posts on COVID Links to Wuhan Lab and Diminishing Our Content for a Year — Facebook Now Says They Will No Longer Ban Posts Claiming Covid-19 is Man-Made

Facebook on Wednesday announced it will no longer ban posts claiming Covid-19 was made in a lab after the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis was reported by mainstream media.

“We will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured from our apps,” Facebook said.

Why does Facebook even have the power to control information about a global pandemic?

“In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured from our apps,” Facebook said on Wednesday. “We’re continuing to work with health experts to keep pace with the evolving nature of the pandemic and regularly update our policies as new facts and trends emerge.”

Facebook relentlessly attacked, shadowbanned and flagged The Gateway Pundit for our accurate reporting on the origins of Covid-19 for over a year now.

In April of 2020, TGP reported on evidence from Chinese officials that the Wuhan Institute was a source of the coronavirus through February of 2020.

Many times the things we report at The Gateway Pundit are months ahead of the mainstream media’s reporting.

This again is one of those times.

Within our article we used various reports coming out of China that supported our headline. One item we reported was in relation to three individuals who worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who had contracted the coronavirus

Over the weekend Dr. Tony Fauci finally admitted that the China COVID-19 virus may have been man-made and not naturally occurring.

Fauci also admitted to funding the Wuhan Laboratory that studied the Coronavirus with NIH grants. This was after months of denying the reports.

Facebook has more power than the US government by blocking information on Covid and running cover for the CCP.

Here is our Bat post that was flagged:

15 States Threaten To Pull Assets From Big Banks That Cut Off Fossil Fuels

A coalition of 15 Republican state treasurers is threatening to pull assets from financial institutions that “refuse to lend to or invest in” the coal industry and other fossil fuels.

The state treasurers, led by Riley Moore of coal-dependent West Virginia, sent a letter to special climate envoy John Kerry on Tuesday that criticized his efforts to pressure big banks and lenders to cut off fossil fuels, stating their opposition to the Biden administration’s “command and control” policies.

“We intend to put banks and financial institutions on notice of our position, as we urge them not to give in to pressure from the Biden administration to refuse to lend to or invest in coal, oil and natural gas companies,” the state treasurers wrote.

Kerry privately pressured big banks earlier this year to make their lending commitments and investment portfolios more climate-friendly, Politico reported. The Biden administration has faced scrutiny from Republican lawmakers over their efforts to pressure financial institutions.

The state treasurers who signed the letter represent some of the nation’s largest fossil fuel producers and collectively manage more than $600 billion in assets, according to financial records obtained by Axios. The letter’s signatories threatened to terminate contracts with banks that cut off lending to the state’s fossil fuel industry in response to federal pressure.

“As the chief financial officers of our respective states, we entrust banks and financial institutions with billions of our taxpayers’ dollars,” the treasurers said. “It is only logical that we will give significant weight to the fact that an institution engaged in tactics that will harm the people whose money they are handling before entering into or extending any contract.”

Moore further told Axios that coal and gas producers in West Virginia have reported difficulties obtaining financing from banks. He blamed the Biden administration for pressuring financial institutions to “green” their lending and investment portfolios.

“Frankly, it is not fair for the people of West Virginia to allow a bank to handle our money when they’re diametrically opposed to our way of life,” he said.
