Border Patrol agents arrested an illegal alien who was previously deported ten times, Miami Sector Chief Patrol Agent Walter Slosar said in a Monday tweet.
The Mexican national, who had a criminal record, was convicted and sentenced to prison for 10 years, Slosar said. While illegal migrant encounters at the southern border topped a record 2.2 million in fiscal year 2022, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removed roughly 72,000 illegal aliens, compared to roughly 185,000 in fiscal year 2020 when migrant encounters were lower.
