WASHINGTON – A convicted murderer from Honduras was arrested after illegally entering the U.S.
with members of the migrant caravan, Department of Homeland Security officials said Friday.
The arrest Nov. 24 came the same day that an alleged member of the MS-13 crime gang from
Honduras was arrested for entering the U.S. illegally, officials said.
Advocates for the migrant caravan of thousands of Central Americans heading across Mexico
to the U.S. have challenged federal estimates that 600 criminals were traveling in the groups.
But U.S. officials said the latest arrests, combined with arrests in Mexico, justify the estimates.
“As DHS confirmed weeks ago, there are at least 600 known criminals in the caravan flow,” said
Tyler Houlton, a department spokesman. “The fact that Border Patrol arrested a murderer within
the first caravan-related apprehensions at our southern border proves how real the threat of the
caravan is to our national security and public safety.”.........
