Border Patrol agents in Texas have made significant arrests this week, including an illegal immigrant wanted for homicide and a convicted pedophile.
The arrests also included catching more than 160 illegal immigrants with gang affiliations.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens emphasized the need for border security and expressed disappointment in the Senate border bill, stating that compromise is necessary.
“Another dangerous criminal kept off our streets,” Owens wrote.
“USBP agents in Laredo, TX arrested another child predator trying to enter our country illegally,” Owens said.
“This subject, a Mexican national, served 10 years in prison for [the] molestation of a minor, a felony conviction. He will be presented to the AUSA for prosecution under 8 USC 1326,” he said.
“These gangs (Paisas, MS-13, etc.) are involved w/murder, extortion, narcotics, weapons/human trafficking & prostitution,” Owens wrote on X.
“This is a threat to our safety and why we need agents patrolling the border.”
“And, as long as there’s no action coming out of Congress, we’re languishing in the same situation. So I don’t think there’s anybody that says that the bill has to have everything that we need in order for us to accept [it] – that’s why we have compromise,” Owens said.
