The Laredo Field Office Special Response Team, along with Homeland Security Investigations agents, assisted the U.S. Marshals Service in executing an arrest warrant in Brownsville, TX resulting in the arrest of a U.S. citizen wanted for conspiracy to traffic cocaine.
Illegal entry. Asylum fraud. Gang ties. A Honduran national and known gang member—tied to the murder of a U.S. citizen in Honduras—tried to game the system, filing a fraudulent asylum claim and living in the U.S. while he waited. El Centro Sector agents, working with federal partners, arrested him at a USCIS facility in Tustin during his scheduled asylum appointment. His claim? Revoked. Let’s be clear: asylum isn’t a loophole for criminals—especially those tied to violent crimes against U.S. citizens. If you enter illegally, lie to stay, and bring violence with you—there are consequences. He’s now in custody and facing what comes next. #HonorFirst #PremierSector #USBP #ElCentroSector #DHS #CBP
Illegal entry risks death, debt, and exploitation. Those who succeed face arrest. We conceal identities in this series to allow individuals to share their stories without fear of cartel retribution.
Up and at it! #ProtectingAmerica
A note to ant farm hobbyists: importing insects into the US is regulated by @USDA because some insects can harm our natural resources. @DFOLosAngeles ag specialists recently discovered carpenter ants hidden inside toy buses in a shipment from Indonesia. ➡️ go.dhs.gov/5dJ
Marijuana, Methamphetamine, & Steroids – Oh My! An inbound passenger at the Port of NY/Newark discovered the hard way that entering the U.S. with drugs concealed in his luggage wasn’t a smart move. The subject is now facing state prosecution. #OFOProud #CBPNYNWK
