Colorado Man, 28, Held Without Bond After Arrest at Nm Highway 54 Checkpoint

Allegedly... Eric Garcia Aguirre, 28, of Thornton, Colorado, was booked into a Doña Ana County jail on Sept. 17, 2025, following an arrest at the U.S. Highway 54 Border Patrol checkpoint, according to booking records. He faces a single felony count listed as "all other offenses," with no bond set. The Highway 54 immigration checkpoint is operated by the U.S. Border Patrol's Alamogordo Station and is routinely used for secondary inspections that result in both immigration and criminal referrals. No federal press release specific to this booking was located in public records at the time of writing, and the underlying conduct is not detailed in the jail sheet. All charges are allegations; Garcia Aguirre is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
