Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector arrested migrants with a number of convictions, including child molestation and attempted murder, over the July 4 weekend – part of a broader increase in criminal migrants being picked up.
Over the holiday weekend, agents arrested three Mexicans with convictions for child molestation, sexual abuse, and aggravated criminal sexual abuse, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a release.
Separately, they picked up a Guatemalan with convictions for sexual assault, sodomy and kidnapping. On Independence Day itself, agents arrested a Mexican with a prior conviction for second-degree attempted murder in California. He had served five years in jail before being deported.
"While we remain busy with large groups, criminals continue in their attempts to elude detection by crossing in our more remote areas," Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero said. "With technology, partnerships, and highly trained agents, we have increased our ability to detect and arrest these criminals before they are able to cause further harm in the United States."
Del Rio has been arresting increasing numbers of migrants with criminal convictions. The release said they have now arrested 927 illegal immigrants with prior convictions this fiscal year – marking a 382 percent increase over the same time last year.
