GALVESTON — Two illegal immigrants accused of robbing a man and a woman returning from the beach were arrested on Interstate 45 and detained by federal immigration officials, authorities said Friday.
Bonds were denied for Edwin Armando Castillo, 25, and Rogelio Hernandez, 30, on immigration holds.
Police accused Castillo of giving a false name of Jairo Flores. Flores previously had been deported to Honduras, Galveston police Capt. Jeff Heyse said.
The men were charged with one count each of aggravated robbery, stemming from a 7:30 p.m. Thursday incident in the parking lot of Antigua Apartments, 8008 Seawall Blvd., Heyse said.
The men are accused of robbing Jose Mendoza, 26, and Joann Victor, 36, at gunpoint, according to a police report.
Two men approached the islanders as they returned from the beach to Mendoza’s residence, Heyse said. One of the men was armed with a handgun, he said.
The men fled in a black sport utility vehicle with $35, a woman’s gold bracelet, cell phone and keys, Heyse said.
An off-duty Galveston County sheriff’s deputy spotted the vehicle traveling north on I-45 and followed the vehicle until it was stopped by a state trooper at Holland Road, Heyse said.
The men were arrested without incident, and police recovered a handgun, tan ski mask, cell phone, gold bracelet and keys, Heyse said.
The men didn’t tell police why they were in Galveston.
“They needed money to get back to Houston,” Heyse said of the police officer’s account of an interview with one of the suspects.

And the standard example of Texas is Charles Albright and Ottis Toole.

No, otherwise you would have cited hundreds of articles just in March, since there are 1,000′s of illegals in Texas (if not 10,000′s, 100,000′s, or even millions)

Actually no. using isolated events to paint a narrative about a whole group is unfair and unjustified. For every crime an illegal immigrants commits, I could find thousands of articles commited by Americans. Often more serious than robbery. I could also cite thousands of examples of how illegal immigrants are a crusial part of our economy.
Everyone knows illegal immigrants come here with the sole purpose of finding work to feed a struggling family back home. The don’t even come here for tourism. Choosing to hang on to an isolated incident to unfairly demonize an entire group is ignorant and very reminiscent of the "Southern Strategy." Your issue with these 2 people who commited a crime is not with their legal status, but rather, their nationality and skin color.
I came to the U.S. legaly, my parents applied and waited 7 years to get in. I paid my own way through college, where I received 2 degrees. I pay taxes. I am a legal U.S. citizen. Yet I’m still discriminated against, and often told to go back to Mexico, eventhough I didn’t come from Mexico. I’m put down for the color of my skin by people like you and I’ve never broken the law.
