(The Center Square) – Texas Department of Public Safety officers continue to apprehend criminal foreign nationals and convicted felons on Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List.
A Honduran national and fugitive, Robert Bustrillo-Vasquiez was wanted for aggravated kidnapping bodily injury/sexual abuse, aggravated sexual assault and human smuggling. He had previously been deported multiple times since 2010.
Bustrillo-Vasquiez was taken into custody at a job site in San Antonio as a result of an investigation led by DPS Criminal Investigations Division Special Agents and Texas Highway Patrol. He had been wanted out of Bexar County since August 11 on multiple felony charges and was captured on Sept. 26.
He has a 15-year history of illegally entering the country, being deported and illegally reentering as a gotaway – those who illegally enter the country to evade capture and don’t make immigration claims. More than two million gotaways were reported under the Biden administration, The Center Square exclusively reported.
After a deportation in February 2018 and another illegal reentry, Bustrillo-Vasquiez served time in federal prison for “felony reentry of a deported alien.” His criminal history also includes arrests in Austin in 2013 and 2014 multiple times for assault, DPS said.
