CBS Dallas/Fort Worth April 1, 2022 U.S. Border Patrol Agents in the El Paso Sector arrested a U.S. citizen wanted for murder on Monday. "El Paso Sector Border Patrol Agents are always vigilant, detecting illegal border crossings whether on foot or by vehicle," said El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez. "An arrest such as this illustrates the vital role Border Patrol Agents play in the proper detection and identification of persons illegally entering between the ports of entry." On the evening of March 28, agents encountered the man walking along the southside of the Border Barrier near Fonseca Drive and Cesar E. Chavez/Border Highway. When agents questioned the individual as to his citizenship, he said that he was a U.S. citizen and that he had just entered the United States from Mexico, illegally, by attempting to drive his truck across the Rio Grande.
