Jeisson Escobar-Valencia was arrested at San Francisco International Airport while attempting to self-deport to El Salvador after being convicted of a child sex crime. He bought a one-way ticket, passing through security and reaching the jetway before Department of Homeland Security agents detained him. A federal judge later sentenced him to one more day in jail, after which deportation proceedings will likely begin. This case could signal an increase in fast-tracked immigration prosecutions as federal authorities ramp up enforcement activities associated with the current administration's immigration policies.
