Following a shootout near Guerrero, Coahuila, that left eight Los Zetas cartel gunmen dead, Border Patrol agents working near Carrizo Springs, Texas, apprehended a wounded gunman who illegally crossed the border to escape Mexican authorities, Breitbart Texas reported. The agents provided medical assistance and then transported the man to a hospital for treatment of multiple gunshot wounds.

“These multiple events marked just one busy day in Del Rio Sector,” said Chief Patrol Agent Raul L. Ortiz. “I would like to thank the agents who worked with each other and our law enforcement partners to bring each of these events to a safe and successful resolution.”

In addition to these illegal aliens, Eagle Pass Station agents arrested a previously deported MS-13 gang member with a violent criminal history. The arrest occurred on January 3 when 43-year-old Jose Guadalupe Cantarero Reyes, a Honduran national, illegally re-entered the U.S. near a populated area. Records show the Honduran man has a conviction from a Fort Worth, Texas, court for family violence assault causing bodily injury in 2008, officials reported. Immigration officers deported the man in 2011.

“MS-13 members are dangerous individuals and thrive on creating chaos,” Chief Patrol Ortiz said in a written statement. “Thanks to the hard work and vigilance of our agents, we were able to arrest this individual before he could infiltrate our communities.”
