“Their criminal histories include: child molestation, aggravated assault, rape, murder, [and the] manufacture/trafficking of firearms,” Owens wrote.

Last week, Owens revealed that border agents have caught nearly 180 illegal immigrants with gang affiliations so far this year. The gangs, including Paisas and MS-13, are involved with murder, extortion, narcotics, weapons/human trafficking and prostitution, Owens wrote on X.
Owens also wrote that in fiscal year 2024, Border Patrol has apprehended more than 6,400 subjects with criminal convictions. It comes as more than 21,000 Chinese citizens have already been apprehended in the Border Patrol’s San Diego Sector alone during the 2024 fiscal year, sparking national security concerns.
