TUCSON, Ariz. – Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents arrested eight illegal aliens Monday, northeast of Douglas, Arizona, and later learned one man in the group was previously convicted in California for engaging in sex with a minor.

Agents transported the group to the Douglas Station for processing and later identified a 22-year-old Mexican national as Martin Guzman-Garcia; who was arrested and convicted in Yuba County, California, last year for engaging in sex with an individual under age 18.

Guzman now faces felony immigration charges for re-entering the United States following deportation.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
