LAREDO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations officers at the Laredo Port of Entry, working in collaboration with the Government of Mexico, took custody of a United States citizen wanted on outstanding warrants for murder and aggravated robbery.
“We continue to work hand in hand with all law enforcement agencies to include our Mexican counterparts to ensure the safety of our community,” said Port Director Alberto Flores, Laredo Port of Entry.
