Peace Arch Port of Entry, Blaine, Washingtom.BLAINE, Wash. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations at the Pacific Highway Point of Entry returned two Vietnam nationals, who are Canadian citizens, to Canada when a Canadian Police Information Centre report found the men were wanted for possession of a scheduled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

Canada Border Services Agency confirmed the warrant for Surrey, British Columbia, men was active with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

“This is another example of how our two countries work seamlessly together,” said Assistant Area Port Director Terry Schulze. “The integrated partnership we have with Canada is outstanding.”

The men were returned to Canada by CBP officers and arrested by RCMP.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
