by BOB PRICE 27 Nov 2023

Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents arrested 21 criminal aliens with prior convictions for sex offenses. Many of these offenses included sex crimes against children.

Del Rio Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Juan Bernal posted the mugshots of 21 criminal aliens arrested since October 1 with histories of sex-related convictions. The sex offenders were arrested after illegally crossing the border between ports of entry. All migrants arrested undergo a biometric background check designed to stop these types of criminals from re-entering the United States.
