TUCSON – A previously deported sex offender, Elvin Javier Maldonado-Gomez, was arrested on Monday by U.S. Border Patrol agents after he reentered the country illegally near Nogales.
Tucson Sector agents ran a records check on the Honduran national and discovered that the 30-year-old Maldonado-Gomez had been convicted in Gwinnet County, Georgia, for statutory rape in 2013. He served five years in jail before being deported in January 2019.
Maldonado-Gomez will be held in federal custody, facing immigration charges for the illegal re-entry of a previously deported felon.
