I had a tourist visa and was arrested on drug trafficking charges but released with all charges dropped. On the paperwork it states I have an expedited removal, can I still apply and have a chance at getting my visa back?

What % of people crossing are actually caught

Asked by Jeff about 12 years ago

If I had to make an educated guess in our AOR when I was working, perhaps 30% or so were actually apprehended.  That doesn't count people who are caught later or further in the country (which is exceedingly rare).  We'd catch about 75% of the people we detected, spotted or picked up on radar etc.  However there are loads of groups/people/drugs that we never detected (but would find signs of later).

If I know of someone who crossed and lied about there reason, what can I do?

Asked by Dalton over 12 years ago

You can report people to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) but you'd have to provide a lot of information regarding proof that they are here illegally.  Also, if a person crosses the border illegally their "reason" doesn't matter.  It is still a crime.

my cat has died at a animal hospital in tijuana and I want to bring him home to San Diego to be buried. Can I bring him across the border by foot.

Asked by Dawnfreemansd about 12 years ago

No idea.  You'd have to speak to a customs guy.  I'm sure there are certain regulations in place regarding the importation of corpses.
