A previously deported MS-13 gang member was arrested Sunday after trying to illegally enter the U.S. through California, officials said. Two individuals were spotted trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border just east of the Calexico Port of Entry around 6:40 p.m., U.S. Customs and Border Protection said. U.S. Border Patrol agents determined that neither individual had the proper documents to be in the U.S. legally and placed them both under arrest.  Record checks at the El Centro Sector Processing Center confirmed the 26-year-old man arrested was a documented member of the MS-13 street gang, officials said.
