TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Two illegal immigrants with criminal convictions in Georgia have been arrested separately in southern Arizona after re-entering the United States. Both face deportation proceedings.

The Border Patrol says Tucson sector agents arrested the two Monday.

Tomas Reyes Lopez, apprehended near Sasabe southwest of Tucson, was deported in January after serving prison time for aggravated felony negligent homicide, failure to yield and driving without a license convictions in March 2001 in Appling County, Georgia.

Francisco Ortiz Falcon, caught near Amado, was found to have been convicted of a "peeping Tom" felony and of writing bad checks in two other Georgia counties.

Both would be subject to prison if caught entering the U.S. again.
