· Texas Border Business
On July 4, U.S. Border Patrol agents in Del Rio apprehended Cristobal Cortes-Cartagena, a 39-year-old Honduran man with a history of child sex crimes. During a train check operation, he and two others jumped from a railcar. Cortes-Cartagena was previously convicted in California in 2010 for lewd acts with a child under 14 and served five years in prison. After being deported, he reentered the U.S. illegally in 2017 and faced additional charges for failing to register as a sex offender. He now faces up to 20 years in prison for reentry after deportation, according to federal law.
