CALEXICO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - Border Patrol agents arrested a gang member 18 miles east of the Calexico Port of Entry early Monday morning.

After arresting the man, agents took him into the El Centro Sector Rally point for screening.
Record checks revealed the 38-year-old man from Mexico as an admitted Paisas gang member who previously had a conviction for drug offenses, including transportation, sales, and possession.
He was sentenced to nine years in prison for his crimes.
He was removed from the U.S. in August 2008.
