Border Patrol agents in Texas arrested two deported child sex offenders in separate incidents in the Laredo and Big Bend Sectors. Also, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested two men wanted for sex crimes against children at border crossing points.

Big Bend Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to the Alpine Station on October 14 arrested a previously deported child sex offender hiding with a group of migrants, according to information obtained from Border Patrol officials. Agents and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers encountered the group traveling along Highway 90 west of Alpine, Texas.

During processing, a biometric background investigation identified one of the men, a Mexican national, as a previously deported criminal alien. Court records show the man received a conviction for Aggravated Sex Abuse of a Victim under 13, Sex Offense Against Child–Fondling. The court sentenced the Mexican national to 48 months of probation in June of this year, officials reported.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers reported the man to Mexico in August. He now faces federal felony charges for re-entry after deportation. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

Two days earlier, Laredo Sector agents arrested a group of migrants in South Laredo, Texas, officials stated. During processing, the agents found one member hiding in the group to be a convicted sex offender and fugitive.

Court records from Dekalb County, Georgia, show that 44-year-old Alejandro Cano-Morales, a Mexican national, received a conviction in 2011 for Child Molestation.  He also has an active warrant and is a registered sex offender.

CBP officers assigned to the Hidalgo International Bridge on October 13 observed a man approaching for an exit to Mexico interview. During processing, the officers identified the man as 52-year-old David Michael King. The computer system flagged the man as having a possible warrant.

During a secondary interview, the officers confirmed that King, a resident of Alton, Texas, had an active felony arrest warrant issued by a court in Springfield, Missouri. The warrant reports King is wanted for statutory rape, a first-degree felony, officials stated.

Later that day, officers assigned to the same bridge interviewed 24-year-old Christian Colin as he attempted to enter the U.S. from Mexico. Officers detained the man when a possible match to an arrest warrant appeared in their computer system.

During a secondary interview, the agents confirmed a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Colin issued by a court in Hidalgo County, Texas. The man, a U.S. citizen, is wanted for sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony, the report states.

“CBP Field Operations is always ready to assist our law enforcement partners in locating those wanted persons with outstanding warrants, especially those allegedly involved in heinous crimes of a sexual nature,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez, Port of Hidalgo/Pharr/ Anzalduas. “We also work with our Mexican counterparts to apprehend fugitives.”

EXCLUSIVE: CBP to Report Record of Nearly 2 Million Migrants Encountered in 2021

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is set to report just under 2 million migrant encounters nationwide for the recently ended Fiscal Year 2021. The number of migrants encountered by Border Patrol agents and CBP officers jumped 202 percent over the previous year’s roughly 647,000.

CBP Officers and Border Patrol agents encountered nearly 1.96 million migrants nationwide during FY21 which ended on September 30, according to a highly placed source operating under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security. A document from the agency reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed the record-breaking level of migrant encounters along the U.S.-Mexico Border.

Of the nearly 1.96 million migrants encountered, more than 1.66 million, a new record for Border Patrol, were migrants apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents at the southern, northern, and coastal borders. This represents an increase of 310 percent over the previous year’s 405,000 migrants.

The report for FY21 set a new record for the apprehension of migrants by Border Patrol agents for the nine southwest border sectors. The previous apprehension record of 1.64 million was set in FY2000, Breitbart Texas reported in late September.

Of the nearly 2 million migrants encountered by CBP and Border Patrol in FY2021, nearly 1.6 million took place following changes in immigration and border security policy following the Biden inauguration.

Single adult migrants accounted for more than 1.3 million of the total encounters, the report is expected to reveal.  This is up from just under 537,000 the year before — an increase of nearly 146 percent. Of those, more than 616,000 came from Mexico and nearly 315,000 came from the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

Family units accounted for the second-largest demographic of migrants encountered with just under 484,000 — an increase of more than 545 percent. More than 275,000 of those came from the Northern Triangle nations.

Encounters with Unaccompanied Minors also jumped by more than 333 percent. CBP officers and agents encountered more than 148,000 unaccompanied minors — up from only 34,000 the year before. Of those, more than 114,000 came from the Northern Triangle countries.

The numbers reported above do not include an estimated 400,000 migrant “got-aways.” The number is determined by counting migrants who ultimately escape apprehension after being observed by surveillance systems. Border Patrol agents also use traditional sign-cutting techniques to spot footprints. It is not a perfect investigative method, however, and sources say the actual got-away count is usually higher.

In a news interview on September 26, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says the increase in apprehensions is nothing new. Mayorkas told Fox News’ Chris Wallace, “We are certainly seeing a large number here this year, but in 2019, we saw a large number. In 2014, in 2010. This is nothing new,” he says.

The statement contradicts the reality that the total number of migrant apprehensions along the southwest border with Mexico is higher than any recorded yearly apprehension statistic, dating to 1925 when 22,199 migrants were arrested by the Border Patrol–mostly on horseback.

Editor’s Note: The numbers cited from the source are preliminary numbers and could change slightly before the official report is published by CBP.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers interdicted a shipment of more than 1,100 pounds of methamphetamine at an international border crossing in South Texas. The attempted smuggling incident took place at the Pharr International Bridge Cargo Facility.

CBP officers assigned to the international cargo facility in Pharr, Texas, on October 9 observed a commercial tractor-trailer approaching for inspection as it attempted to enter the United States from Mexico. During an initial interview, the officer referred the driver to a secondary inspection station for further screening, according to information obtained from CBP officials in South Texas.

The officers subjected the tractor-trailer rig to a non-intrusive imaging inspection and a cursory search from a K-9 trained to detect drugs and human cargo. The initial inspection led officers to carry out a physical search of the trailer.

During the search, the officers found 468 packages determined to be methamphetamine. The officers report the weight of the drugs to be 1,179.47 pounds. They estimated the street value of the methamphetamine to be $16,512,400.

“This massive load of methamphetamine will not reach our city streets thanks to our CBP officers and their great teamwork and utilization of all available tools and resources,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez, Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas Port of Entry.

The officers seized the drugs and the tractor-trailer. The case is now being investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations.
