U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended a convicted rapist Wednesday night after he illegally entered the United States from Mexico. At approximately 7:45 p.m., agents working in the Morelos Dam area encountered Walker Adonis, a 38-year-old Haitian national. Adonis was among a group of 17 migrants arrested for illegal entry and transported to Yuma Station for processing. Record checks revealed Adonis was convicted of rape in 2010 in Indiana and sentenced to nine years in prison. Adonis was ordered removed from the U.S. by an immigration judge in March of 2014 after serving only a portion of his sentence. Adonis will be prosecuted for re-entry of a removed alien and faces additional prison time. (USBP Chief Yuma C. Clem)
