Deported MS-13 Member Uses Child as Cover for Re-Entry

A previously deported MS-13 member used an infant as cover during his re-entry attempt. He used the child to pose as a “family unit.”

Border Patrol agents assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Sector encountered a man with a small child after he crossed the Rio Grande River near the border town of Penitas, Texas, late last week. Agents took the man and the child to the McAllen Station for processing, according to U.S. Border Patrol officials.
