United States Border Patrol agents arrested five child sex offenders in five different sectors in Yuma, Tucson, El Paso, Del Rio, and Rio Grande Valley.
Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens said the child predator’s criminal histories included sexual assault of a person 15 years old and aggravated sexual assault of a child.
The news comes amid growing concern over the 1.8 million “gotaways” at the southern border since Biden became president.
A “gotaway” refers to an illegal entering the country and is not apprehended or turned back.
Fox News correspondent, Bill Melugin, wrote on X:
“Another reason why 1.8 million + known gotaways since start of FY’21 is such a concern.
USBP Chief Owens has said those gotaways “keep him up at night.”

Fox News reported:
The arrest of five sex predators at the border came as the FBI warned Monday of a “wide array” of dangerous threats coming from the U.S. border, including drug trafficking, violent gangs, and smugglers with ties to ISIS.
Asked by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing to comment on these threats, Wray said there were dangerous individuals entering via the southern border.
“From an FBI perspective, we are seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border,” he said.
“And that includes everything from drug trafficking – the FBI alone seized enough fentanyl in the last two years to kill 270 million people – that’s just on the fentanyl side.”
As we highlighted earlier this month, over 14,000 illegal immigrants were encountered at the southern border in Arizona in one week alone, sources from U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.
More than 2,000 apprehensions of illegal immigrants were made in the Tucson sector.
While illegal border crossings typically dip around the beginning of the year, however, the trend under Joe Biden shows that the numbers are not letting up.
“If no action is taken – buckle up for the rest of the year, if the last three years are any indication,” Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported.
“Especially if migrants feel they need to get in before Biden is potentially voted out of office.”
NEW: Per CBP sources, yesterday saw just over 7,000 migrant encounters at the southern border for the second day in a row, led by Tucson, AZ sector w/ over 2,000 apprehensions of illegal immigrants. There were also over 1,000 known gotaways yesterday.
