“Our officers did a tremendous job identifying and apprehending this fugitive.  We work very closely with our law enforcement partners and are glad that this individual will now face justice,” said Mark MacVittie, Acting Port Director for the Port of Buffalo. “We are the nation’s first line of defense at the border and CBP officers remain vigilant in the course of their duties.”
