LAREDO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Laredo Port of Entry this week encountered a man wanted out of Fort Bend County, Texas on an outstanding felony warrant for continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14.

“This arrest is a significant step towards ensuring the safety and security of our community,” said Port Director Albert Flores, Laredo Port of Entry. “CBP officers successfully apprehended a dangerous alleged sexual predator from causing any more harm to today’s youth.”

On Sunday, August 11, CBP officers at the Juarez-Lincoln Bridge referred a bus passenger, a male Mexican citizen, for secondary inspection. Alejandro Gloria Villegas, 39, a lawful permanent U.S. resident, was escorted to secondary inspection. During secondary examination, CBP officers utilizing biometric verification and federal law enforcement databases verified his identity and discovered that he was the subject of an outstanding felony arrest warrant for continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14. CBP officers transported Gloria Villegas to Webb County jail for adjudication of the warrant.

Based on information from NCIC, CBP officers have made previous arrests of individuals wanted for homicide, escape, money laundering, robbery, narcotics distribution, sexual child abuse, fraud, larceny, and military desertion.
