A member of the notorious MS-13 gang, \u200cEmerson Lopez Fugon,\u200c was apprehended by the DPS Texas Rangers Special Operations Group. This dangerous individual, originally from Honduras, was found hiding\u2063 on a train \u2063in Maverick County near Eagle Pass.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this\u200c arrest even more alarming is that \u2063Lopez \u200dFugon \u2064is not only a \u200dmember of the violent MS-13 gang but\u2063 also a registered \u200bsex offender with a history of kidnapping, abduction, and \u2064sexual \u2064violence. His capture is\u2064 a testament to the effectiveness of Operation Lone Star, a program launched by Governor Greg Abbott to address\u200b the rise \u2063in illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>MS-13, also\u200b known as Mara Salvatrucha, is a gang that\u200c originates from the violent Northern Triangle region of Central America, primarily El Salvador.<\/p>\n<h3>Recent Arrests\u200d Highlight the\u200c Dangers<\/h3>\n<p>This arrest is just one of several recent\u200b successes \u200dfor Texas law enforcement. In addition to capturing \u200bLopez Fugon, the DPS has also apprehended a\u200d Honduran national involved in human smuggling and child \u2063pornography. Furthermore, they disrupted a human smuggling attempt and arrested a sex offender from Houston.<\/p>\n<p>These \u200carrests demonstrate the\u2064 commitment of Texas to protect its citizens and\u200d maintain the safety of\u2062 the nation. Governor Abbott \u2063emphasized this\u2063 in a recent statement, affirming that Texas will continue to hold the line\u200d against illegal activity.<\/p>\n<h3>Operation Lone \u2064Star: Filling the Gaps<\/h3>\n<p>Operation Lone Star has been instrumental in addressing \u200cthe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-set-to-regulate-bitcoin-cryptocurrencies-reportedly-for-national-security-challenges\/\" title=\"Biden Set To Regulate Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies, Reportedly For \u2018National Security Challenges\u2019\">security challenges posed<\/a> by the\u2063 Biden administration&#8217;s\u2063 lax border policies. Since its\u2064 launch, over 406,500\u2063 illegal migrants \u200chave been \u2063apprehended, and more \u2063than 32,700 criminal arrests\u2064 have been made.<\/p>\n<p>Every \u200darrest and seizure \u200bmade through Operation Lone Star prevents \u2062dangerous individuals \u2062and illicit substances from infiltrating communities \u2063across Texas and the entire country. It serves as a crucial response to the Biden administration&#8217;s failure \u200bto secure the border.<\/p>\n<h2>Alien Sex Offenders Entering America<\/h2>\n<p>Among the \u200cindividuals arrested \u2063for sexual\u2064 offenses, \u200bmany are repeat offenders who have been deported from the United States in the past. However, they\u200d continue to reenter the\u200b country illegally and commit further crimes.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a Mexican national convicted \u200dof attempted rape in Georgia in 2015 was recently arrested after illegally crossing the border. Similarly, an illegal immigrant apprehended \u2062near\u2062 Bisbee, Arizona, was found to have a\u2062 prior conviction in Utah for sexually abusing a child.<\/p>\n<p>These individuals now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ms-13-sex-offender-arrested-in-texas\/\" title=\"Texas police apprehend MS-13 member involved in sexual offenses.\">face federal\u200b prosecution<\/a> for\u200d illegal re-entry,\u2063 which carries a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years.<\/p>\n<h3>Rising Numbers of Criminal Noncitizens<\/h3>\n<p>The number of criminal noncitizens in the United States \u200chas been steadily \u2064increasing under the Biden administration. In fiscal year 2021, there were 488 arrests of such individuals charged with sexual offenses, \u2063compared to 137 in fiscal year 2017 under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>These alarming statistics highlight\u2064 the urgent need\u2062 for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tyler-county-is-texas-10th-to-declare-an-invasion-at-southern-border\/\" title=\"Tyler County Is Texas\u2019 10th To Declare An Invasion At Southern Border\">stronger border security measures<\/a>. Law enforcement officials, such as Rep. August Pfluger and Rep. Troy Nehls, have criticized the Biden administration&#8217;s response to the border crisis and called for immediate action.<\/p>\n<p>Texas remains committed to protecting its \u2064citizens and\u200b ensuring the safety of the \u200bnation.
