SIERRA VISTA — The U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector agents have arrested five illegal immigrants with criminal sex offense records in recent days. One of the arrests was made Friday in Cochise County at the Douglas Border Patrol station.

Honduras national Dennis Melgar-Mejia, 23, had multiple sex-related charges including aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency and sexual contact with a child, and is a convicted sex offender.

Also on Friday, at the Nogales immigration processing center, Ramiro Lopez-Enriquez, 39, who is a Mexican national, was determined to be a registered sex offender through criminal history record checks, according to the Border Patrol. His record includes a conviction for sexual battery.

Over the weekend, three other Mexican nationals were arrested at border stations in Ajo and Nogales with charges ranging from sex offenses to endangerment of children. All of these illegal immigrants are in “service custodyâ€

The border patrol has had a busy week and done an outstanding job.
