SAN FRANCISCO - Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) San Francisco successfully removed an unlawfully present foreign fugitive on June 27, who was wanted by law enforcement authorities in Mexico to face charges for illegal possession of firearms and drugs with intent to distribute.

Eduardo Jacob Cuencas Vivar, 41, was transported via ground transportation and arrived at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Upon arrival, he was turned over to the proper authorities in Mexico.

Cuencas was initially encountered by the U.S. Border Patrol in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, on July 17, 2019, and was arrested for being illegally present. Border Patrol officials issued him an expedited removal order, and he was removed to Mexico the same day. He reentered the United States on an unknown date and location without inspection, admission, or parole by an immigration officer.

ERO San Francisco arrested Cuencas in Madera, California, on April 24. He remained in ICE custody until his removal.
