Border Security and Crime

The Texas Department of Public Safety says its Border Mounted Patrol Unit arrested 41-year-old Honduran national Marcio Steven Izaguirre on New Year’s Day 2026 after spotting him on a private ranch in Maverick County near Del Rio, learning he is a previously deported felon with a 2008 child molestation conviction in Cobb County, Georgia and multiple deportations since 2004. Body camera video shows horse‑mounted troopers tracking Izaguirre through brush after a ranch camera alert, ordering him out of hiding, and taking him into custody before referring him to U.S. Border Patrol as part of Operation Lone Star’s New Year’s Day apprehensions.
