The arrest occurred on June 18 when 29-year-old Ayatullah Mohamad Kasim attempted to re-enter the United States alone in a personal vehicle. During initial questioning, Kasim told officers he had accidentally entered the bridge without intending to cross into Canada. While conducting routine database checks, CBP officers discovered that Kasim had an active arrest warrant listed in the National Crime Information Center.
After being escorted to a secondary inspection area for further verification, authorities confirmed that the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in Texas had issued a warrant for Kasim’s arrest for violating probation. The underlying charge was a third-degree felony offense involving continuous violence against a family member.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Following confirmation of his identity and the outstanding warrant, Kasim was turned over to the Buffalo Police Department as a fugitive from justice. He is currently being held by the Erie County Sheriff’s Office and awaits extradition to Texas to face legal proceedings.
CBP emphasized that charges against Kasim remain allegations and that all individuals are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. No public safety threat in the Buffalo area was reported in connection with the arrest.
