Border Patrol Captures High-Ranking Gang Member
Border Patrol agents in Edinburg have arrested a member of the Partido Revolucionario Mexicano gang, a criminal organization operating along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Authorities report that the suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, held the rank of “Lieutenant” in charge of Northern Hidalgo County.
Previously Deported, Now Facing Federal Charges
The suspect had been deported in 2021, but illegally reentered the United States, violating federal immigration laws.
He now faces aggravated illegal reentry charges, a serious offense that could lead to lengthy federal prison time before deportation proceedings resume.
Border Security Efforts Continue
Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to arresting gang members attempting to operate within U.S. borders. Law enforcement continues to monitor criminal organizations involved in human smuggling, drug trafficking, and violent crimes.
