Marshals Service for the District of New Mexico relentlessly and exhaustively
pursues sexual predators and within a few hours three dangerous fugitives were
apprehended and as a result many communities within New Mexico are safer for our
children; a testament to the many successful arrests by the Marshals Service is
the positive relationship with local, county, state, and federal law enforcement
agencies”.
