Jais Lopez-Lopez was picked up five miles north of the U.S. boundary with Mexico Monday morning by Border Patrol agents assigned to the ATV unit who were patrolling on Highway 9 near mile marker 70.
During processing, agents discovered that Lopez also had a previous arrest and conviction for unlawful sex with a minor in 2011, and had two prior immigration charges resulting in his removal to Guatemala.
Lopez was remanded to the Luna County Detention Center pending removal proceedings. He also faces charges for violating his prior order of removal.
