Before a Customs agent would make an arrest for a warrant of any type, the agent would have to believe the agency holding the warrant would come to the port of entry where the arrest was made to pick up the person with the warrant. If the agency is adjacent to the port of entry (e.g. a San Diego warrant in San Ysidro), this is likely. If the agency holding the warrant was distant to the port of entry, it's unlikely they will expend the time and money to fetch someone with a misdemeanor warrant.

How do you clear an arrest warrant in Arizona when you live in New York?

If the warrant is extraditable from New York, you can present yourself to a law enforcement agency in New York for arrest. If the warrant is not extraditable from New York, you have the option of returning to Arizona and presenting yourself for arrest at the law enforcement agency where the alleged offense took place. If the offense is punishable by fine only, you may contact the court where the charge was filed and pay either a bond or the fine itself. On a side note, traffic offenses in Arizona are civil cases only, as opposed to most states where a traffic case is a criminal case. Thus, failure to appear for a civil traffic offense will only result in your driver's license being suspended and additional fines and penalties, but not a warrant for your arrest. However, failure to appear for a criminal misdemeanor charge will result in an additional class one misdemeanor charge for failure to appear.
