The U.S. Border Patrol says agents arrested the man within minutes after crossing through Calexico. Record checks revealed the 38-year-old had multiple felony convictions. An immigration judge had removed him from the country.
Agents say the migrant will remain in custody pending charges, including illegal re-entry after deportation.
Earlier this week, agents stopped a human smuggling attempt with 15 people cramped in a utility truck without safety.
Agents arrested another convicted sex offender last Sunday with a criminal and immigration history. Juan Jose Mojica-Ceron, a 55-year-old Mexican national, was previously convicted in Los Angeles for a lewd act with a child under the age of 14, serving three years in prison for his crime and charges of driving under the influence in which he served 16 months.
