Andres Wilkinson, a 52-year-old federal immigration supervisor, has been charged with harboring an undocumented person. The alleged offense occurred while Wilkinson lived with his girlfriend, Elva Edith Garcia-Vallejo, in Laredo, Texas. Authorities received information in April 2025 indicating Garcia-Vallejo was residing in the US without legal authorization and was living with Wilkinson, who is her niece. Prosecutors claim that Wilkinson provided financial support to Garcia-Vallejo, including housing and access to vehicles registered in his name. The alleged offense occurred after Garcia-Vallejo entered the US on a non-immigrant visa in August 2023, which expired in February 2024. Wilkinson's attorney has not commented on the allegations, and he has not yet entered a plea.
