On Sunday morning, McAllen Border Patrol Station (MCS) agents working near Hidalgo, Texas, arrested several subjects, to include a Honduran adult male, shortly after illegally entering the United States. During processing, record checks revealed the Honduran national is a MS-13 gang member.
Yesterday afternoon, Rio Grande City Border Patrol Station (RGC) agents performed an immigration inspection on five individuals detained during a Texas Department of Public Safety vehicle stop in Roma, Texas.

At the station, agents discovered one of the subjects, a Guatemalan national, had been previously arrested by the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office in eastern Kansas.
