Man From Mexico Booked on Felony Charge After I-25 Checkpoint Stop

Allegedly... Marco Alejandro Rangel-Reta, 22, listed with an address in Zacatecas, Mexico, was booked into a New Mexico jail on Nov. 17, 2025, under booking number 2500009333, according to local jail records. The booking log shows a single felony count categorized as "All Other Offenses," with the arrest location recorded as the I-25 checkpoint. Bond is listed as not applicable, which typically indicates a federal hold or a pending first appearance. Interstate 25 hosts a U.S. Border Patrol immigration checkpoint in southern New Mexico, where agents commonly refer cases to federal prosecutors. No public news coverage, indictment, or U.S. Attorney announcement tied specifically to Rangel-Reta had surfaced at the time of publication, and the jail record does not describe the underlying conduct. Court records, if filed, would typically appear through the federal district of New Mexico once a complaint or indictment is unsealed. The charge is an allegation. Rangel-Reta is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
