 LAREDO, Texas – Border Patrol agents from the Laredo South Station arrested a convicted sex offender after he crossed the Rio Grande River illegally into the U.S. near south Laredo.

The arrest occurred on October 12, when agents apprehended a group of undocumented individuals near Riverview and Oleander Street in south Laredo.  Among the

group was Alejandro Cano-Morales, a 44-year-old Mexican national, who was identified as having an active warrant and a registered sex offender for a 2011 conviction for Child Molestation out of Decatur, Georgia in Dekalb County. 

 He will be prosecuted for his immigration violation and remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service.
