The illegal aliens were nabbed in Croswell, a small town about 85 miles north of Detroit near Lake Huron in Michigan’s Thumb region. They face the following charges: Alien inadmissibility, alien present without admission, alien removal, nonimmigrant overstay and immigrant without an immigrant visa.
In a separate X post, Morris announced Detroit Border Patrol agents, with law enforcement partners, arrested two Special Interest Aliens from Venezuela in separate incidents Tuesday in Grosse Pointe Farms and Clinton Township.

“One illegal alien faces a felony re-entry charge. The other possessed fraudulent documents, including a fake Social Security card. Both face removal,” Morris wrote on X.
On Sunday, Detroit Station agents arrested a Special Interest Alien from Venezuela in Warren, Mich. The illegal alien is pending felony prosecution for illegal re-entry of a removed alien and will be processed for removal from the United States.
No other details were released on the incidents.
Morris also said on the social platform X on Tuesday that “April was a great month for law and order in the Detroit Sector! Our agents arrested several illegal aliens wanted for serious sex crimes. Help us keep the momentum going. See something, say something: 1-800-537-3220.”

The top arrests in April included a sex offender, rape suspect, suspect in an assault on a pregnant woman, child rapist, multiple sexual assault felon, and Tren de Aragua gang member.
Elsewhere along the northern border, a Colombian illegal alien was arrested on Sunday in Huron, Ohio, by Sandusky Bay agents after an altercation with law enforcement. The suspect faces multiple charges, including resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, Social Security fraud and unlawful entry into the United States. The subject faces prosecution and removal from the United States, according to an X post by Morris.
In Maine, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that April arrests by Maine Border Patrol agents hit a 24-year high. Altogether, 113 illegal aliens were arrested from 16 countries of origin.
Border Patrol said the increase was not due to more people illegally crossing the border in Maine, but instead from expanded United States Border Patrol enforcement throughout the state, according to a news release.
“Here in Maine, Border Patrol Agents are working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep our border secure,” Acting Chief Patrol Agent Craig Shepley said in the release. “If you attempt to cross the border illegally, you will be apprehended. If you are present in the United States without a legal status, you will be detained and removed in accordance with all applicable immigration laws.”
Nationwide, CBP reported only five illegal aliens were temporarily allowed into the U.S. in April for U.S. special interest court cases—a staggering drop from the roughly 68,000 released along the southwest border during the same month last year, according to a news release.
“For the first time in years, more agents are back in the field—patrolling territories that CBP didn’t have the bandwidth or manpower to oversee just six months ago,” said Pete Flores, acting commissioner of CBP in a statement. “But thanks to this administration’s dramatic shift in security posture at our border, we are now seeing operational control becoming a reality—and it’s only just beginning.”
CBP monthly reporting can be viewed on CBP’s Stats and Summaries webpage. The CBP is working to secure the United States on multiple fronts, including:
- Halting the flow of illegal aliens into the country
- Operational control at ports of entry and at large
- Interdicting narcotics and dangerous drugs
- Facilitating lawful trade and travel
- Protecting consumers and eradicating forced labor
- Implementing President Donald Trump’s tariffs
- Securing American agriculture and natural resources
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the nation’s largest law enforcement organization, employs 65,000+ men and women.
