CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A border patrol supervisor is in trouble with the law for allegedly helping someone stay in the United States illegally, according to a press release from the United States Attorney’s Office Southern District of Texas.
Andres Wilkinson, 52, works for Customs and Border Protection. He appeared in court and will stay in jail until his next hearing.
Wilkinson has worked for CBP since 2001. In 2021, he got promoted to supervisor. His job was to make sure people followed immigration laws.
But prosecutors say Wilkinson was breaking those same laws. They say he let a woman live with him even though she didn’t have permission to be in the country. Court papers say he knew she was here illegally but was dating her anyway.
