The Texas Department of Public Safety has announced the arrests of 12 illegal aliens of special interest—some of whom were wanted for sex trafficking and human smuggling crimes.
According to DPS, the illegal aliens arrested were part of a larger list used by agents in selection of the top 10 most wanted aliens in Texas—two of whom have already been apprehended.
Among those captured by DPS was Samuel Alexander Castro-Canas, an illegal alien originally from El Salvador who was detained in Huntsville on June 25. Castro-Canas has a history of arrests for various crimes including smuggling of persons—three counts of which he has been wanted in Kinney County since November of last year.
Juan Herrera-Lizama, Rigoberto Arman Arevalo-Zavala, and Pedro Constanza-Lopez are three other illegal aliens from El Salvador arrested in addition to Castro-Canas.
