Mexican national with full extradition warrant suspected of sexually abusing child under 12
A Mexican man who was wanted in Florida for heinous sex crimes against a victim under 12 years old was arrested after he rode a jet ski across the Rio Grande into Texas, authorities say.
On Wednesday, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin published exclusive footage of an illegal alien and a suspected smuggler being taken into custody by Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) troopers working alongside Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley.

The Mexican illegal was observed being transported across the Rio Grande on a jet ski to meet a suspected smuggler waiting in a Chevrolet Camaro on the Texas side of the river.
Law enforcement officers can be seen questioning both men separately.
They discovered the illegal alien, identified as Gabriel Gutierrez-Perez, was wanted on a full extradition warrant out of Okeechobee, FL, for sexual battery on a child under 12, molestation of a victim under 12, and sexual battery against a child victim by family or custodial authority.
The other suspect, identified as Roberto Flores of Mission, TX, was charged with human smuggling and possession of a controlled substance.
“Great work by our TxDPS Troopers & US Border Patrol Agents working collaboratively in locating & arresting this criminal illegal immigrant wanted out of Florida on multiple warrants involving sexual battery of a child, from evading capture,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez wrote on social media following the bust.
Authorities continue to catch dangerous foreign criminals illegally present in the U.S.
Penn Station was slammed by hundreds of illegal aliens arriving to New York City this week.
