Charlotte Alerts
U.S. Border Patrol agents in southern Arizona arrested a sex offender near San Miguel on Tuesday afternoon October 27, 2020.
Agents patrolling near the international boundary tracked and arrested 29-year-old Honorio Perez after he made illegal entry into the United States through the desert.Â
Records checks revealed that Honorio is a Guatemalan national and he was convicted of sexual offenses against a child in Floyd County, Georgia in 2012. After completing his subsequent prison sentence, Honorio was removed from the United States in 2017. Â
Honorio will now face felony immigration prosecution, as he is a previously removed felon with a lifetime ban from the United States. All people apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol undergo criminal history checks using biometrics to ensure illegal immigrants with criminal histories are positively identified.
