Feds: Man Detained at Mexico Border Convicted of Murder

The U.S. Border Patrol says its agents arrested a Mexican man trying to re-enter the United States after being convicted of murder.

The Border Patrol said Monday that the man was one of seven undocumented immigrants arrested near Hidalgo, the Texas town just across the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Mexico. The agency says the man's murder conviction in Hidalgo County was found while he was being processed.

The Border Patrol did not identify the man or say when he was convicted or released from prison.

A spokesman did not immediately return a phone message.
