NACO, AZ – Authorities say a man arrested for illegal entry into the United States was found to be wanted for a murder in California.

After the 34-year-old was entered into the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), records revealed an active warrant for his arrest for murder in Salinas, California.

"The Border Patrol often sees the criminal element attempting to blend in with the economic migrant," said Naco Station Patrol Agent in Charge Humberto De La Cruz. "Through the use of IAFIS the Border Patrol continues to identify these subjects and takes the steps necessary to keep them out of our communities."

IAFIS has assisted the Border Patrol in gaining greater situational awareness, ensuring that wanted felons are identified and turned over to the appropriate agency.

Border Patrol Agents have arrested more than 65,000 people this year, many of whom have criminal backgrounds, such as ties to gang memberships and convictions for felony crimes such as assaults, kidnappings, sexual crimes, and dangerous drugs.

The man will be extradited to Salinas, California.
