According to The Hill, Border Patrol agents working near El Paso monitored a group of nine individuals walking through the desert close to the southern border on the American side. After several hours, the agents confronted the group and all members admitted to illegally entering the country.
Federal authorities ran the group’s personal information and discovered one of the border crossers, 25-year-old William Amaya-Ortiz of El Salvador, is currently actively involved with the notorious Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang.
Officials said Amaya-Ortiz had extensive criminal history in Denver, Colorado and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Amaya-Ortiz, a citizen of El Salvador, has previously been deported from the U.S. four times and had multiple convictions for crimes ranging from assault to DWI- KVIA reported.
Meanwhile, liberals protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE], U.S. Border Patrol, and borders in general. You know, it’s often the things that go on behind the scenes that we take for granted. For instance, Border Patrol and ICE agents bust criminals consistently- in turn, keeping us all that much safer.
We’re not talking about ‘criminals’ who simply enter the United States illegally but the real McCoy offenders. Just recently the two agencies worked together to bring down notorious child predators, drug runners, and illegal weapons smugglers in a extensive bust. But we don’t need borders- right?!
