The individual, identified as 25-year-old U.S. citizen Mark Anthony Renteria of San Benito, Texas, was driving a 2016 GMC when he presented himself at the port of entry on April 18. CBP officers directed Renteria to a secondary inspection area, where a background check confirmed an outstanding warrant issued by the Saline County Sheriff’s Office in Salina, Kansas. The charges involve two counts of indecent liberties with a child, a serious felony offense.
Following confirmation of the warrant, Renteria was turned over to the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office. His arrest underscores the role of CBP in identifying and detaining individuals sought for severe criminal offenses as part of routine enforcement measures at U.S. ports of entry.

While other outlets are proud to be government 'Partners,' we are proud to be exactly what our namesake requires: Free from government influence, and free from government censorship.

CBP officers regularly rely on the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), a centralized database that helps law enforcement agencies share data on fugitives and other criminal activities. Arrests at border crossings often stem from information within this system, with previous apprehensions involving a wide spectrum of crimes including homicide, narcotics trafficking, and sexual abuse. Individuals facing charges remain presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
