The southern U.S. border has seen an increase in illegal immigrant activity, resulting in significant arrests of child sex offenders and a convicted murderer attempting to cross into the country.
Border patrol agents in Texas and Arizona captured individuals with alarming felony convictions, including second-degree murder and endangering the welfare of a child.
The apprehensions occurred amidst a worsening crisis at the southern border, with over 302,000 migrant encounters in December and 2.4 million migrant encounters in fiscal year 2023.
“These subjects were caught trying to re-enter the U.S. illegally,” U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Chief Jason Owens wrote.
“Agents being out on patrol is what stopped them from getting to your communities. #HonorFirst.”
“Both subjects have alarming felony convictions,” Border Patrol Chief John Modlin wrote.
“One for second-degree murder and attempted murder and the other for endangering the welfare of a child. Both face federal prosecution.”
Notably, Border Patrol arrested 19 individuals on the FBI terror watchlist in December.
A coalition of former FBI officials has warned about a “new and imminent danger” at the southern border, suggesting that the U.S. has been “invaded” by military-age foreign nationals.
