U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a man from Mexico after he illegally crossed the border from Canada into the United States through Calais.

It happened Tuesday.

The agents found the Mexican National in downtown Calais, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

During questioning, 45-year-old Benigno Godinez-Cortez reportedly freely admitted that he illegally crossed the international boundary from Canada into the United States and did not possess immigration documents allowing him to enter or remain in the United States.

Court documents indicate Godinez-Cortez said he was waiting to be picked up by his girlfriend, an Australian who was later charged with inducing him to enter the U.S., where she was waiting with a car.

Agents checked his background and found out Godinez-Cortez was ordered removed from the U.S in 1994.

A lawyer for Godinez-Cortez declined comment Thursday night.

The case was turned of to the United States Attorney's office.

The arrest is at least the second in recent weeks of someone in the country illegally, according to the Associated Press. Officials say a Haitian man was arrested last month after border agents shut down Interstate 95 and questioned motorists at a roadblock.
