am a Special Agent (SA) of?the United States Homeland Security investigations and have
knowledge of the following facts:

1.

On November 23, 2019, a Dodge Charger registered to Roy CABRERA entered the United States
(U.S.) through the Progreso, Texas port of entry?s (POE) outbound lane. Upon entering the US.
the driver did not report his arrival nor did be present the vehicle to Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) officers for inspection. Subsequently, the Dodge Charger and its occupant(s)
sUccessfully fled the port of entry.

On November 30, 2019, CABRERA and Stephanie ALVARADO entered the U.S. in a Dodge
Charger through the Progreso, Texas POE.

At the Progreso POE, CABRERA gave negative declarations for narcotics, weapons, ammunition
and monetary instruments in excess of $10,000 to CBP officers. Database queries of the vehicle
revealed that the vehicle?s license plate and description matched the same Dodge Charger that
fled the port of entry on November 23, 2019.

CABRERA and the vehicle were referred for a secondary inspection. During the secondary
inspection, CABRERA freely stated ?he knew why he was being detained and that he messed up
by driving north a week prior.?

CBP officers advised CABRERA of his Miranda rights in the English language, which he stated he
understood and waived in writing.

Post Miranda, CABRERA stated he was the owner and driver of the Dodge Charger on November
23, 2019. He was also aware that it was a crime to fail to present himself to CBP officers at the
port of entry. CABRERA stated he did not present himself or the vehicle for inspection because
he was highly intoxicated.
