PRESIDIO, Texas — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers have arrested a woman for sex trafficking of children.
The woman was not identified by officials, but CBP said she was a 45-year-old U.S. citizen.
Officers discovered the woman had an outstanding warrant when conducting an inspection of the vehicle she and four others were traveling in from Mexico to the Presidio point of entry.
The woman was taken into custody by CBP before being transferred into the care of the Presidio Police Department.
“The alleged trafficking of innocent children for sexual purposes is a heinous charge,” CBP El Paso Director of Field Operations Hector A. Mancha said in a press release. “CBP collaborates with other law enforcement agencies to bring those who commit crimes to justice.”
