· Texas Border Business
On July 4, U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector apprehended Cristobal Cortes-Cartagena, a 39-year-old Honduran man with a history of child sex crimes. During a train check operation in Uvalde, he and two others fled 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. He was deported after his sentence and faced further legal issues, including reentry after deportation. He now faces a potential 20-year sentence for this latest charge, emphasizing the need for vigilance against repeat offenders.
