EDINBURG, Texas – Border Patrol agents arrest a convicted murderer, and sex offender.

A judge subsequently sentenced him to 25 years to life. Additionally, he has various robbery and burglary felony convictions that occurred in Los Angeles.

This morning, McAllen agents working near Hidalgo, Texas, arrested seven foreign nationals who were found to have illegally entered the United States.

During processing, record checks for a Honduran male, later identified as Jose VILLATORO-Simon revealed a previous arrest by the Fairfax Police Department for aggravated sexual battery / victim incapacitated.
