(The Center Square) -
After illegally entering the country at the southwest border and being released by Border Patrol agents, violent criminals continue to be arrested thousands of miles north near Baltimore.
One of them was a 19-year-old Guatemalan national in the country illegally convicted of raping a Maryland resident.
Henry Argueta-Tobar illegally entered the country in El Paso, Texas, on May 21, 2019, as an unaccompanied minor. Under the Trump and other administrations, federal policy is to release into the country those claiming to be minors. Border Patrol agents transferred his custody to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which released him “on an order of recognizance.”
