Tucson, Ariz. – Last Friday, Tucson
Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended an illegal immigrant wanted for
homicide in Mexico.
Ajo Station agents apprehended four
individuals who entered the U.S. illegally. During processing, record checks
revealed one of the men, Remigio Lopez-Alvarez, age 32, had an active homicide
warrant from Chiapas, Mexico.
Through cooperation and information
sharing between the Border Patrol and the government of Mexico, the warrant was
entered into the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. IAFIS
gives agents the ability to quickly identify dangerous criminals and ensures
that wanted persons are turned over to the appropriate agencies.
Following immigration proceedings,
Lopez-Alvarez was turned over to Mexican authorities.
CBP welcomes assistance from the
community. Citizens can report suspicious activity to the Border Patrol and
remain anonymous by calling (877) 872-7435 toll free.
