U.S. Customs Inspectors in Laredo Arrest Iraqi Fugitive Wanted by FBI in Michigan

Laredo, Texas -- U.S. Customs inspectors working at the Laredo port of entry this weekend apprehended and turned over to the FBI an Iraqi national wanted on federal drug charges in Michigan.

The capture occurred Saturday, April 27, 2002 at Lincoln-Juarez Bridge. A U.S. Customs inspector referred a 2000 Chevy Cavalier for a secondary examination. Inspectors suspicious of the Hispanic alias used by the passenger referenced a national crime database. Upon further review, Inspectors discovered that the passenger's true identity was Milael Mansour Yousif, 26, an Iraqi national residing in Troy, Mich., and he had an outstanding federal warrant from the FBI in Michigan.

After a cooperative investigation between the U.S. Customs Service and FBI, Yousif was taken into custody. The driver of the vehicle was released. U.S. Customs inspectors found no contraband in the vehicle. Yousif was a fugitive of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation being conducted in Detroit, Michigan. The OCDETF investigation targeted street gangs known to distribute narcotics. Yousif faces an initial appearance hearing today before a federal magistrate.

David Higgerson, Acting U.S. Customs Port Director, Laredo commended his Inspectors on apprehending the fugitive. "Our inspectors since Sept. 11 have continued sustained enhanced security under Level One alert and in the process, have seized increased amounts of narcotics and apprehended more fugitives than in previous years," Higgerson said.

In the first two quarters of Fiscal Year 2002, U.S. Customs inspectors at South Texas ports of entry from Brownsville to Del Rio to Austin have apprehended 696 fugitives, a 53 percent increase from the 455 apprehended during the same period in FY 2001.

"Drug rings with Iraqis. The plot thickens."

...not when you think of these pigs as the organized crime ring that they are.

First, we had the Mafia. Hey, some of them were my family. Life wasn't all bad. You lived in a Mob neighborhood, and you didn't have to worry about locking your doors.

The Mob if financially broken by the FBI, making room for...

THE COLUMBIANS. You still really don't have to worry about locking your doors, BECAUSE THEY WILL SHOOT YOUR DOOR DOWN AND KILL NOT ONLY YOU BUT YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE...

The FBI is unable to break the Columbians, because, unlike the Italians, the Columbians have no code of honor. The FBI's inability to track the Columbians makes this country PRIME territory for Columban terrorists, who are not only into drugs and murder, but HAVE A CAUSE! A JIHAD, if you will...

Which leads us to....THE ARABS! See, it's the same thing. The Arab terrorists need to get funding, and organized crime, including prostitution, slave trade, drug and gun running is the only business they're cut out for.

"Investigators are trying to determine why Almarabh moved to Detroit. He told friends he was searching for a better job. But since Almarabh has also learned to drive a truck and obtained a license to transport hazardous material after producing fraudulent immigration documents, investigators also suspect he may have been involved in something more sinister.

On arriving in Detroit, he enrolled in a truck-driving school in nearby Dearborn, telling the owner he wanted to make more money than he had been earning as a cabdriver in Boston. After passing his test to drive a tractor-trailer truck the next month, Almarabh secured the added ''endorsement'' from the state of Michigan that allowed him to drive trucks containing hazardous material."
