The traveler, a lawful permanent resident, was wanted in Arlington, Texas for sexual assault of child under the age of 17.
“When we encounter persons wanted by other law enforcement agencies, we verify the warrant and then carryout the appropriate law enforcement action,” said CBP Area Port Director Cleatus Hunt.
CBP officers turned the traveler over to DFW Department of Public Safety.
