“We want our citizens to know that the U.S. Marshals Service in Puerto Rico continues its strategic and joint work alongside state law enforcement agencies,” said Wilmer Ocasio-Ibarra, U.S. Marshal for the District of Puerto Rico. “We will not relent in our efforts to pursue those who think they can evade the law.
