LINCOLN PARK, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A routine traffic stop in Lincoln Park, Michigan, about 12 miles southwest of Detroit, led law enforcement to pull over a driver who ended up not having a valid driver’s license. The man, 27-year-old Franh Enrique Yonkaiker Machado-Rivas, wasn’t just driving without a license though – he was wanted by Interpol for a homicide in Venezuela.

Interpol is a global law enforcement organization that provides investigative support, expertise and training to promote international security and public safety.

U.S. Border Patrol agents from the Gibraltar Station were contacted by law enforcement concerning Machado-Rivas and according to a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Machado- Rivas admitted to agents that he was in the U.S. illegally. Marchado-Rivas is being processed for removal from the United States.

Chief Patrol Agent John R. Morris said, “This arrest highlights the Border Patrol’s unwavering commitment to protecting our communities and upholding the rule of law. Through strong partnerships with local and federal law enforcement, we are able to identify and remove dangerous individuals – like this homicide suspect – before they can pose a threat to public safety.”

While the event highlights strong coordination among law enforcement agencies, it also raises a troubling question in light of the Biden Administration’s border policies: how many dangerous criminals have slipped into the U.S. undetected?
