Two men with violent criminal histories, Arnoldo Rene Agustin and Reinaldo Ciro Duran, have been arrested after illegally entering into the United States.
U.S. Border Patrol agents from the Sonoita Station apprehended Duran, age 57, from El Salvador, after he illegally crossed the border west of Sonoita Friday night. A records check on Duran revealed several convictions in California to include animal cruelty, assault and molestation of a minor in 2016.
Duran has previously served more than 500 days in prison for his crimes.
On Tuesday evening, agents from the Brian A. Terry Station encountered Agustin, age 33, from Guatemala after he illegally entered the United States. A records check revealed a 2012 Berkeley County, South Carolina conviction for sexual exploitation of a minor and attempted lewd act on a child, for which he served six years in prison.
Both men are in federal custody and are being presented for criminal felony immigration charges.
