Brownsville, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Brownsville Port of Entry on Monday apprehended a man wanted for homicide in Austin, Texas.
On
September 12, CBP officers working northbound pedestrian traffic at the
Gateway International Bridge encountered a male pedestrian. The man,
identified as Jose Luis Hernandez Jaimez, 45, a citizen of Mexico and
resident of Austin, Texas, was escorted to secondary for verification of
a possible outstanding arrest warrant for homicide. At secondary, a CBP
officer's checks of a CBP database identified Jose Luis Hernandez
Jaimez as the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant from Travis
County. CBP officers arrested Hernandez Jaimez and subsequently turned
him over to the custody of the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office. Jose
Luis Hernandez Jaimez was transported to the Carrizales/Rucker Detention
Center pending extradition to Austin, Texas.
“As
a direct result of the great work being done by our frontline officers
at the Brownsville Port of Entry, this wanted fugitive will be
extradited to face pending charges in Travis County. Vigilance on the
frontline has resulted in another great arrest by CBP," said Michael
Freeman, CBP Port Director, Brownsville Port of Entry.
