Border Patrol agents at an interior immigration checkpoint in New Mexico recently arrested a Cuban national with what officials described as a “disturbing criminal history,” once again exposing the dangers posed by lax border security and failed open-border policies. According to a report shared by Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks, the individual had a long and violent rap sheet, underscoring the urgent need for stronger enforcement and tighter immigration controls.
The arrest occurred on April 29, when New Mexico agents intercepted the Cuban criminal alien, who had entered the country illegally. What began as a routine stop quickly turned into something far more alarming. “During a records check, the agents discovered an extensive criminal history and took the man into custody,” Banks reported.
The individual was apprehended under 8 USC 1253, a federal law that applies to non-citizens who have already been ordered removed from the United States. Shockingly, a deeper background investigation revealed that this migrant’s criminal history wasn’t just extensive—it was horrifying. According to Banks, the man had prior convictions for:
- Murder
- Negligent Homicide
- Shooting from a Motor Vehicle
- Tampering with Evidence
- Possession of a Controlled Substance
- Carrying a Prohibited Weapon
Banks highlighted the importance of interior checkpoints, stating, “This case underscores the critical role interior checkpoints play in protecting our communities.” Indeed, this arrest raises the glaring question: how many more like him are slipping through the cracks under current policies?
The same day, Border Patrol agents near San Luis, Arizona, made another high-profile arrest—a “recently deported high-ranking member” of the violent Paisas prison gang. This gang member had been deported just two weeks earlier after serving over five years in prison for auto theft but was already attempting to sneak back into the country, illustrating just how ineffective current deportation and re-entry prevention measures have become.
It’s worth noting that illegal re-entry after deportation is a serious federal offense, punishable by up to 20 years in prison—yet criminals continue to defy these penalties. “Border Patrol agents stay vigilant on the frontlines to detect and apprehend these criminals that try to sneak into our country,” Banks stated.
These arrests expose a troubling reality: the U.S. is facing a relentless tide of criminal aliens emboldened by weak enforcement and a political climate that too often prioritizes open-border ideology over the safety of American citizens. Incidents like these are not isolated; they are symptomatic of a system that is failing to secure the border and protect communities from dangerous individuals.
While frontline agents continue to do heroic work intercepting criminals, without meaningful policy change and genuine commitment to border security, Americans will remain vulnerable. These cases serve as urgent reminders that the cost of inaction isn’t just theoretical—it’s a clear and present danger to public safety.
Marxists have always considered criminals as their “allies “ to be utilized in creating the chaos that only more government can fix. That’s why the previous regime had an open borders policy and assisted these types of criminals to illegally enter the country! A certain power group has lobbied for unfettered immigration since 1965! Research the names and the legislation they championed to see how and why this problem persists!!
Tru, that’s how they hope to undermine America.
Our Border Patrol Agents do a hell of a good job. However, for 4 years their orders from DC (Myorkas) were catch & release and do not bother vetting the “newcomers” aka illegal aliens. That has stopped and Myorkas is gone just like the illegals will be gone unless the dems find a way to bring them back.
Adios, Biden,, Mayorkas, and illegal aliens.
Great job Border patrol,
Thank you, Border Patrol!
