Deported Child Sex Offender Caught Reentering U.S. During Human Smuggling Stop in Texas

A routine traffic stop in Eagle Pass led Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers to apprehend a previously deported child sex offender from Mexico, officials confirmed. The Oct. 15 stop in Maverick County uncovered three illegal immigrants inside a Dodge Challenger, including 49-year-old Jose Aleman Arroyo, an aggravated felon convicted of indecency with a child and assault in North Carolina just two months prior.

Texas DPS spokesman, Lt. Chris Olivarez, posted a video on social media that captured the events as a trooper initiated a traffic stop at a gas station in Eagle Pass, Texas. During an interview with the driver, Fort Worth resident Joshua Sanders, the trooper found three illegal aliens in the car.

The trooper arrested Sanders for a state crime of human smuggling.

During a background investigation into the illegal aliens, the trooper identified one of the men as a Mexican national with previous convictions in North Carolina for indecency with a child and sexual assault. Following his conviction in August, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers deported him to Mexico. Troopers identified the Mexican illegal alien as 49-year-old Jose Aleman Arroyo.

Two months later, he illegally re-entered the U.S. and managed to evade apprehension along the border. His arrest happened as the alleged human smuggler attempted to move him into the U.S. interior. --->READ MORE HERE

Traffic stop in Maverick County leads to arrest of convicted child sex offender

A routine traffic stop in Maverick County led to a major arrest for the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Just after 7:30 a.m. Oct. 15, a DPS trooper pulled over a gray Dodge Challenger on U.S. 277 near Eagle Pass. Behind the wheel was 27-year-old Joshua Sanders of Fort Worth. Inside the car, troopers discovered three undocumented immigrants.

Investigators said Sanders was taken into custody on a charge of human smuggling.

One of the passengers, identified as 49-year-old Jose Aleman Arroyo of Mexico, was a convicted child sex offender who had been deported after serving time for multiple violent crimes.

Authorities said Arroyo was arrested in North Carolina in 2021 on charges including indecent liberties with a child, assault causing serious bodily injury, and assault by pointing a gun. He was convicted in August in Alamance County and deported shortly afterward by federal immigration officials.

According to DPS, Arroyo reentered the United States illegally and was discovered during the traffic stop. He, along with two other people from Mexico and Honduras, was turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol for processing. --->READ MORE HERE
