Border Patrol agents in Texas arrested two convicted sex offenders who had re-entered the U.S. after previously being removed, San Angelo Live reports.
The incidents were unrelated.
On Dec. 4, Eagle Pass Border Patrol agents apprehended a 57-year-old undocumented immigrant who had been arrested and charged in June 1993 with indecency with a child. Oswaldo Bienvenido Galo-Garcia was sentenced to two years before being deported back to Honduras.
On Dec. 7, a 24-year-old undocumented immigrant from Honduras was arrested by Border Patrol agents for entering the U.S. illegally. Agents discovered that Oscar Omar Rivas-Izaguirre had been convicted of child fondling in October 2013 and was deported back to Honduras on Sept. 28, 2015.
“Two serious offenders were stopped short of possibly doing more harm to the people of this great nation,” said Del Rio Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Matthew J. Hudak. “The commitment our Border Patrol agents have in keeping America secure is a continuous effort; and this is one more example.”
