San Luis, Ariz. — A 31-year-old Yuma man
with an outstanding arrest warrant for homicide out of Yuma County, Ariz., was
arrested Friday by Customs and Border Protection officers at the San Luis Port.
Officers referred Manuel Bustamante
Reyes Jr. for a secondary inspection when he applied for entry into the United
States through a pedestrian lane. A routine records check revealed the warrant
and CBP officers immediately arrested Bustamante. The Yuma County Sheriff’s Department
was contacted and took custody of him without further incident.
The Office of Field Operations is the
primary organization within Customs and Border Protection tasked with an
anti-terrorism mission at our nation’s ports. CBP officers screen all people,
vehicles and goods entering the United States while facilitating the flow of
legitimate trade and travel. Their mission also includes carrying out
border-related duties, including narcotics interdiction, enforcing immigration
and trade laws, and protecting the nation's food supply and agriculture
industry from pests and diseases.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is
the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged
with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and
between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and
terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
