Border agents in Texas arrested three sex offenders in two days, one of whom had been jailed in Dallas.
All three men have been previously convicted of offenses involving a minor, according to officials with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. Their names were not released.
In the most recent arrest, agents at the Sarita checkpoint between Brownsville and Corpus Christi took a Salvadoran man into custody Wednesday as he tried to skirt the border checkpoint through thick brush. They ran a record check and discovered he had been arrested by Dallas police on suspicion of aggravated sexual assault of a minor.
On Tuesday, McAllen agents arrested a Mexican man attempting to illegally enter the country near Mission. While the man was being processed, record checks showed that he had been previously arrested in McAllen for indecency with a child, resulting in a three-year prison sentence.
That afternoon, agents near Brownsville arrested a Mexican man previously arrested in South Carolina for criminal sexual conduct with a minor, resulting in a 12-year prison sentence.
