CBP
EL CENTRO, Calif. - Agents at El Centro Sector arrested a convicted sex offender running north from the international border fence Sunday afternoon, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

CBP said a group of three individuals were running north from the international border fence, approximately 20 miles west of the Calexico port of entry when agents approached the group and determined that they were illegally present in the United States.

The group was arrested and transported to the El Centro station for processing.


Record checks revealed that one of the individuals, Eliseo Orozco-Mansilla, a 39-year-old Mexican national, is a convicted sex offender. In 2002 in Spokane, Washington, Orozco-Mansilla was convicted for Child Molestation. He was consequently sentenced to six months in jail and 12 months of supervised release.

CBP said Orozco-Mansilla was previously deported in March of 2002.


"Protecting our nation's borders and keeping our communities safe is often one in the same," said Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez. "Arrests like these send a clear message that we will keep our communities safe and will prosecute criminals who have committed felonies in the United States."

Orozco-Mansilla will face removal proceedings.

Thousands Of Migrants Head Toward US Border

SAN DIEGO -- Federal officials are seeing a steep increase in families and unaccompanied minors seeking legal asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego, and shelters in Tijuana report they are housing record numbers of migrants waiting their turn.

The number of people who are part of a family unit seeking legal entry into the U.S. through the San Diego ports of entry in fiscal year 2018, through August, was up 139 percent compared to the same period in 2017. The number was 12,340, up from 5,167, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Customs and Border Protection statistics show a 31 percent increase in unaccompanied children during the same period. The majority of unaccompanied children come from Guatemala while the families are overwhelmingly coming from Mexico's interior, the data shows.

Others come from Nigeria, Honduras and Pakistan.

Tijuana's shelters say they are strained from the number of mothers with children trying to enter the U.S. seeking asylum through the San Ysidro Port of Entry, after the U.S. ended a policy of family separations at the border. Thousands are hunkering down in Tijuana shelters or in tents right outside on the streets.

Capt. Isaac Olvera runs the Salvation Army Center for women and children in Colonia Libertad, where he says more than 2,000 people in Tijuana are waiting in limbo, a number he's never seen before.
