NATIONAL SECURITY: Border Patrol catches once-deported immigrant convicted of kidnapping

1/17/2015

A convicted kidnapper is behind bars after he was caught in the Mission area after crossing into the United States.

Border Patrol agents came in contact with Jose Santiago Osegueda-Soriano.

A records check showed that Osegueda-Soriano was convicted of a kidnapping back in June 2007.

He was sentenced to five years in jail.

According to documents, Osegueda-Soriano was deported in March 2012 from Atlanta, Georgia.

Before he was deported, Osegueda-Soriano was told to not come back into the U.S. without permission from the U.S. Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security.

This time around, he told Border Patrol agents that he came back through the city of Hidalgo illegally.

Osegueda-Soriano stood before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dorina Ramos Wednesday where he was denied bond.

Prosecutors believe Osegueda-Soriano is a “flight-risk” in this case since he has been convicted of kidnapping.
