U.S. Border Patrol Reports Three More Convicted Sex Offenders Stopped in Three Days

Border Patrol agents Customs and Border Protection announced Wednesday, Wednesday, that three more convicted sex offenders were caught trying to enter the U.S illegally in the same area. They were all caught within four days.

All of the fears were realized in the Del Rio Sector in Southwest Texas. Starting Jan. 13, Brackettville agents intercepted seven migrants found to be illegally in the U.S. Nicolas Agaton Hernandez (41), a Mexican national, was arrested in 2013. He was convicted of statutory enticement and child sex offences. 

Agaton Hernandez was detained for five year for his offenses. He was finally released in 2018. 

Del Rio agents detained Juan Jose Garcia-Ortiz (27), a Mexican national convicted in 2020 of online solicitation to minors in Georgetown, Texas. CBP stated that Garcia-Ortiz was confronted with two other migrants who were trying to avoid detection.

The migrants wait to get their turn at the Border Patrol agent who will write down their information in Eagle Pass (Texas) on December 20, 2022. On December 19, 2022 the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the imminent removal of a crucial policy that was used by former President Donald Trump’s administration in order to stop migrants crossing the southwest border. This decision was made amid concerns about an increase in undocumented immigration. Chief Justice John Roberts issued an order stopping the December 21st removal plan of Title 42. The Title 42 safety protocol allowed the government use Covid-19 safety protocols in order to prevent millions of migrants from coming into the country. (Photo: VERONICA G. CARDENAS / AFP).
