Border Patrol Tucson Sector chief John Modlin said the “Se Busca Información” initiative has identified 10 people who are wanted by U.S. and Mexican officials for crimes including human and drug smuggling, murder and crimes against children.

“Through posters, flyers and media, this initiative will place the photos of 10 wanted individuals in the public eye,” Modlin said during a press conference Thursday. “Their faces will appear in locations with maximum visibility throughout the Sonora-Arizona region, including U.S. border patrol stations, checkpoints and other public areas. The Se Busca posters and billboards will also include contact information for reaching out to law enforcement with information about these wanted subjects.”

People can share the information anonymously through a tip line, WhatsApp or through email.

The tip line number for phone and WhatsApp is 520-310-5914; the email is sebuscatips@cbp.dhs.gov.
