Agents took the migrants into custody and transported them to the Eagle Pass Processing Facility. Record checks showed that one of the people in the group – a 42-year-old Honduran national named Edis Noe Hernandez-Ruiz – was convicted of sexual battery in Georgia in 2008 and spent five years in prison. He was deported in 2017.
Less than an hour later, Eagle Pass South Station agents came across another group of migrants trying not to be seen after illegally entering the U.S. The agents took the group into custody and transported them to the Eagle Pass Processing Facility.
