“As the nation’s border security agency, Customs and Border Protection sometimes encounter travelers with outstanding arrest warrants and returns them to face their charges,” said Augustine Moore, CBP Director, Baltimore Field Operations. “These warrant arrests are examples of CBP’s collaboration with our law enforcement partners to protect victims’ rights, return fugitives to justice, and to help keep our communities safe.”

CBP officers examine passenger manifests on arriving international flights before those flights land. CBP works with the wanting jurisdiction to verify that the warrant and extradition order remain active. CBP then verifies that the traveler is the subject of the warrant, and works with local law enforcement to initiate extradition to the wanting jurisdiction.

On average, CBP arrests 23 wanted persons every day at air, land and sea ports of entry across the United States.

CBP routinely conducts inspection operations on arriving and departing international flights and intercepts narcotics, weapons, currency, prohibited agriculture products, and other illicit items. View CBP Snapshot to learn some of what CBP achieves ‘On a Typical Day.’
