    32 Fugitives Apprehended by CBP in San Diego

    CBP News Release

    32 Fugitives Apprehended by CBP in San Diego

    1 Fugitive Wanted on $3.5 Million Bail

    (Wednesday, October 08, 2008)

    San Ysidro, Calif. - A 26-year-old Los Angeles man wanted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office on two warrants for police obstruction with a total bail amount of $3.5 million was apprehended early this morning by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the busy San Ysidro port of entry, officials announced today.

    CBP officers also arrested 31 other fugitives wanted on outstanding felony warrants within the last seven days, officials said.

    Jorge Mercado was detained by CBP officers after he entered the port from Mexico as the driver of a 1991 Dodge Intrepid at about 1 a.m. After Mercado presented his valid California identification card and birth certificate, the CBP officer queried law enforcement databases and developed information regarding the traveler's outstanding felony warrant.

    Mercado, a U.S. citizen, was escorted by the CBP officer into the vehicle secondary inspection lot where his identity was confirmed using the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System and other databases. Additionally, CBP officers contacted the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office to confirm the active warrant.

    Mercado was held by CBP enforcement officers until transfer to the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office.

    Mercado’s apprehension was one of 32 arrests made within the last seven days at the nation's busiest land border port and its neighbor facility at Otay Mesa. Outstanding warrants from various police agencies nationwide included charges of kidnapping adult to sexual assault, robbery, larceny, parole violations and dangerous drugs.

    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.

    Man arrested for impersonating a federal agent

    EL PASO -- The Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force arrested a man Friday for impersonating a Federal Agent, officials said.

    Victor Serrano was arrested in connection with the Jorge Mercado investigation that involved an El Paso-based drug ring that smuggled cocaine and marijuana to cities across the United States.

    That investigation took place between September 18-19, when eight other suspects were arrested, officials added.

    "Any person who attempts to fraudulently portray himself as a federal agent for any reason is a serious threat to public safety and will be investigated by DEA and our law enforcement partners," said Dan Stitt, Acting Special Agent in Charge. "The U.S. Attorneys office will prosecute to the fullest extent possible."

    The investigation is the result of a partnership between the DEA, El Paso County Sheriff's Office, El Paso Police Department, United States Border Patrol, United States Marshal Service, and the United States Attorney's Office.
