For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Texas

LAREDO, Texas – A 52-year-old Customs and Border Protection supervisor has been charged with harboring an illegal alien, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei.

Andres Wilkinson has made his initial appearance and will remain in custody pending a detention hearing tomorrow before U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian C. Bajew.

Wilkinson has served with CBP since 2001 and was promoted to a supervisory position in 2021. In that role, his duties included overseeing the enforcement of customs and immigration laws.

According to the criminal complaint, law enforcement learned that an illegal alien was residing at Wilkinson’s residence without legal authorization. The complaint further alleges that Wilkinson was aware of her unlawful immigration status yet maintained a romantic relationship with her.

Court records allege the illegal alien initially entered the United States on a nonimmigrant visa in August 2023 and later overstayed authorized travel.

From June through November 2025, law enforcement conducted surveillance at Wilkinson’s residence and observed the illegal alien living there with Wilkinson and her minor child, according to the charges. Investigators also observed the alien using vehicles registered to Wilkinson, court documents allege.

In February 2026, investigators interviewed the illegal alien, according to court records. The criminal complaint alleges she had been residing with Wilkinson since August 2024. Court documents further allege Wilkinson provided financial support, including housing, credit cards, assistance with financial obligations and access to vehicle registered in his name. The complaint also alleges Wilkinson knowingly transported the illegal alien through U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints.

The complaint further alleges Wilkinson traveled with the illegal alien to San Antonio and that messages indicated she and her child resided with him.

If convicted, Wilkinson faces up to 10 years in federal prison as well as a possible $250,000 maximum fine.

CBP - Office of Professional Responsibility – Laredo conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Manuel Cardenas is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

I cannot imagine pissing away an entire 25 year law enforcement career AND committing felonies over a girlfriend.

I don’t remember the comedian who said this (it’s not my joke) but it always struck home with me.

“Some people will tell you money makes the world go round. Those people are wrong. Pussy makes the world go round, a man will go out and get him some money just to get some pussy”.

It probably would have been all fine if he had put a ring on her. Hell, it would even make a nice feel-good story to show how compassionate the people in CPB are.

Seems like overkill to conduct a near six month surveillance to get this guy. It's not like he's trafficking many illegals or running a drug ring.

He pissed somebody off.

I've been running into this quite a bit lately. People are breaking laws, you turn them in, and nothing is done about it. But they regularly enforce the same laws against others when it suits them.

I know a CBP guy I train with. If he even finds out someone is illegal it's my understanding he has a duty to report or it's a crime.

So this smuck made all the wrong choices.

Yeah, a six month investigation to catch him living with someone undocumented? I think we might be hearing a bit more later on.

This isn’t the first time a CBP agent has been busted for harboring illegal aliens. It won’t be the last. I don’t think the last one I am thinking of involved romance. There is a saying in law enforcement. The badge will get you p***y, but the p***y will get your badge.
