A Man Living Illegally in Texas, Wanted for Reportedly Raping a Child in Mexico, Has Been Sent Back to His Home Country

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Texas sent back a Mexican man who was living in Houston and was wanted in Mexico for child rape.

ICE announced that 58-year-old Nestor Flores Encarnacion, who did not have legal status, was sent back to Mexico on Thursday.

Flores, wanted in Veracruz, Mexico, for child rape, has illegally entered the U.S. four times.

On Thursday, ICE police brought Flores to the Juarez-Lincoln Bridge in Laredo, Texas, where he was handed over to Mexican officials.

Bret A. Bradford, the director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations in Houston, said, “This fugitive entered the U.S. illegally four times to avoid facing charges in Mexico for allegedly raping a child.” “Dangerous criminals from other countries who are accused of serious crimes, like child sexual assault, will not be safe in Southeast Texas.”

ICE reports that Flores crossed into the U.S. illegally on February 16, 2002, near Roma, Texas. The following day, he was caught by U.S. Border Patrol and sent back to Mexico.

He came back to the U.S. just a few days later, on February 20, 2002, and then again two days after that, on February 22. ICE reported that he was caught by Border Patrol officers on both occasions and chose to go back to Mexico the same day.

Flores reentered the country for the fourth time at a place and date that are not known.

On August 23, 2024, deportation police in Houston caught Flores at a home after they learned he might be living in the area.

ERO Houston was informed that Flores was wanted in Mexico for rape.

After being apprehended, Flores was put into immigration proceedings and given a voluntary departure by an immigration judge with the Justice Department on Dec. 19, 2024.

“Our immigration officers work hard to find and catch undocumented immigrants in the Houston area who pose a risk to public safety and security. They won’t stop until these individuals are sent back to their home country and no longer a threat to the community,” Bradford said.
