A previously deported sex offender was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents Tuesday five miles from the Calexico Port of Entry.
29-year-old Terry Orozco Vaca, a Mexican national, attempted to illegally enter the U.S. five miles west of the port of entry, U.S. Border Patrol (BP) agents said.
When BP agents ran his information through the system, they found he he previously been convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor in Santa Ana. He was sentenced to 157 days in jail and three years probation and was later removed from the county on March 14, 2012.
BP agents are processing him for Re-Entry After Removal as a convicted sex offender.
Since the start of the year, agents have arrested eight convicted sex offenders for trying to re-enter the U.S. after being removed.
