Federal Fugitive Captured at Border in Washington State

(Friday, December 04, 2009)

Blaine, Wash. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection Field Operations officers apprehended a California man on December 3 who was wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Field Office in Los Angeles for alleged mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, false declaration and criminal contempt.

Officers arrested Alexander Thorn, 44, when he attempted to enter the United States at the Peace Arch border crossing because a name check revealed that he was the subject of a National Criminal Information Center felony warrant. Thorn falsely attempted to claim U.S. citizenship but records indicate that he is a German native and that he has twice been deported from the United States, in 1995 and in 1999.

“It doesn’t matter where you are arriving from, if you are a wanted felon you will be leaving in handcuffs,â€

Yet another example of racial profiling.
