U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a previously deported criminal alien who twice applied for amnesty under President Obama’s DACA program. Agents arrested the DREAMer after he illegally re-entered the country in California.
Immigration officers deported Juan Manuel Montes, 23, in April after he applied for DACA protection on two occasions. Court records show Montes has four convictions including one for shoplifting and three for driving without a license, Breitbart News reported. He arrived in the U.S. illegally at the age of nine.
Border Patrol agents found him in Calexico, California, in February. During an interview, the agents determined he had no legal status in the U.S. and deported him.
At the time, Montes expressed surprise that the government was enforcing immigration laws. “Some people told me that they were going to deport me; others said nothing would happen. I thought that if I kept my nose clean nothing would happen,” he explained. He did not explain, however, his failure to “keep his nose clean.”
