“Some seek sanctuary across the border but when they return to the U.S. history has shown that they will be stopped by CBP officers.”

In addition to the high-profile fugitive arrest, over just the past week, CBP officers apprehended 20 additional persons wanted for crimes including smuggling contraband, assault, smuggling methamphetamine, dangerous drugs, stolen vehicle, larceny, probation violation, and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

All subjects were arrested by CBP officers and turned over to federal/state authorities to face charges.
