Two sex offenders arrested
Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro Sector Border Patrol arrested two previously deported sex offenders in separate incidents over the weekend, a Customs and Border Protection announced stated.
The first incident occurred at approximately 11 a.m. Saturday after agents encountered a man who had illegally entered the United States, east of the Calexico port of entry. Record checks revealed that the
man, later identified as 39-year-old Mexican national Isael Sanchez-Labra, was a previously convicted sex offender with a lengthy criminal record.
The checks showed that Sanchez has a conviction from April 2005 in California for lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old.
Sanchez was sentenced to three years in prison for the conviction.
Sanchez also received a two-year prison sentence, from the same arrest for a sexual battery conviction.
In May 2017, Sanchez served 150 days in jail for a parole violation. In September 2017, he received another 16 months in prison for failure to register as a sex offender.
The second incident occurred at approximately 1:45 a.m. Sunday when Border Patrol agents arrested a man after observing him enter the country illegally roughly 11 miles west of the Calexico port of entry.
