Responding to the tip, agents from the Marysville Border Patrol Station located the man on the U.S. side of the river and determined he had just made an unauthorized entry. The individual, who was identified as an Iranian national legally residing in Canada, was apprehended without incident.

Following the arrest, the man was processed for expedited removal, a procedure used in immigration enforcement to swiftly return individuals to their country of origin or last legal residence. In this case, the individual was returned to Canada after processing.
