CBP AT LAREDO BRIDGE NABS 76-YEAR-OLD WANTED ON CHILD SEX ABUSE WARRANT AFTER BIOMETRIC/NCIC HIT

CBP officers at Laredo’s Juarez-Lincoln Bridge referred a 76-year-old bus passenger for secondary inspection where biometric checks against law enforcement databases and NCIC confirmed an outstanding Illinois warrant for aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a minor. The man was taken into custody and transferred to a local jail for adjudication. CBP highlighted the role of biometric verification and NCIC in identifying fugitives at ports of entry; charges are allegations until proven in court.
