HIDALGO, Texas—U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the Hidalgo International Bridge apprehended Efrain Medina, a male United States citizen from Indiana who had an active felony arrest warrant for homicide.

“CBP Field Operations is always ready to assist our law enforcement partners in locating those wanted persons with outstanding warrants,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez, Port of Hidalgo/Pharr/ Anzalduas. “We encounter people from all over the country as this arrest shows. No matter where they are from, CBP is committed to bringing wanted people in to face their charges.”

On September 25, 2021, the 42-year-old man arrived from Mexico as a pedestrian at the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge and a CBP officer immediately secured him after discovering Medina was a possible match to an arrest warrant. Once in secondary, biometric verification confirmed his identity along with the active felony arrest warrant from Lincoln Park, Michigan Police Department.
