Two child sex offenders were caught trying to re-enter the U.S. through Texas last week, border officials revealed Tuesday.
U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested Mexican national Pedro Ulloa-Cordova, 22, and Salvadoran national Saul Reynaldo Mendoza-Reyes, 37, in the border’s Del Rio section on Friday.
Ulloa-Cordova was discovered when agents were running background checks on a group of 10 people who were apprehended near Quemado. He was convicted of child sex abuse in Utah and had been deported last year.
