On October 20, border agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV) detained 13 migrants near Encino, Texas. A records check revealed one of the migrants in the group is an MS-13 gang member with pending charges for homicide, fraud, and trespassing in New York. Later in the day, authorities found two migrants hiding in a brush tree near the city of Falfurrias, one of whom was arrested for homicide in El Salvador. The migrant was also an MS-13 gang member. In the evening, officials found an 18th Street gang member from El Salvador among a group of more than 60 migrants; the scofflaw was previously apprehended and removed from the country in September.
