A group of individuals attempting unauthorized entry into the United States via a freight train faced interception by U.S. Border Patrol agents. On Mar. 12, a scene unfolded at the International Railroad Bridge in Buffalo, where Border Patrol agents stationed at the Buffalo Station observed four individuals disembarking from a moving freight train.
In a sequence of events, three men hastily fled the scene, leaving behind a woman immobilized due to an injury. Swift response from Erie County Sheriff’s deputies and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers ensured the injured woman received immediate medical attention before being swiftly transported to a local medical center.
Chief Patrol Agent Thomas G. Martin, overseeing the U.S. Border Patrol Buffalo Sector, praised the collaborative efforts of law enforcement partners in safeguarding the Western New York area.
“This is a great example of how our Border Patrol agents, CBP officers and law enforcement partners work tirelessly to protect the Western New York area, said Chief Patrol Agent Thomas G. Martin, U.S. Border Patrol Buffalo Sector.
Upon processing at the Buffalo Station, it was revealed that the woman and two men were of Indian origin, while the third man hailed from the Dominican Republic. The investigation led to the determination that all four individuals were undocumented non-citizens.
The two Indian men, along with the third individual, are now undergoing deportation proceedings and are currently detained at the Batavia Federal Detention Facility. Charges have been levied against them under Sections 212 and 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Meanwhile, the injured woman remains under medical care, awaiting further treatment at the local medical center.
The Buffalo Sector plays a critical role in securing the border between ports of entry in New York and Pennsylvania, encompassing 341 linear maritime border miles.
