When U.S. Border Patrol officers at the Falfurrias Checkpoint in South Texas (Highway 281) found convicted sex offender Jesus Rivera-Gutierrez hidden in the air dam of an 18-wheeler on November 24, 2024, they made a historic arrest. It was discovered that Rivera-Gutierrez, a Mexican national, had an active arrest warrant for probation violations and a previous conviction for possessing child pornography.
The importance of checkpoints in preserving border security is shown by this arrest. Border Patrol agents contributed to the protection of public safety, particularly the safety of children, by keeping Rivera-Gutierrez, a convicted sex offender, from reentering communities.
