Previously Deported Child Predator Captured by Horseback Officers at Texas Border

Texas law enforcement officers on horseback have captured a convicted child predator along the U.S.-Mexico border. The man had been previously deported from the United States. Officers from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) made the arrest on a private ranch. The location is near the border, though the exact area was not specified. The suspect is described as an "illegal alien," meaning a non-citizen present in the country without legal authorization. Public records confirm he was deported prior to this arrest. The use of horse-mounted units is a common patrol method in the rugged terrain of the Texas border region. The DPS often works alongside other agencies to apprehend individuals crossing illegally. The man is now in custody and faces federal re-entry charges. His prior conviction for crimes against a child will likely influence his legal proceedings.
