He was identified as 22-year-old Stefan Eduard Wiebogen of Strasshof.
The agency said he was admitted to the U.S. under a visa waiver program after he arrived at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Sept. 8. It said a tip led investigators Thursday to the hostel where he was staying.
The agency said he’s been taken to the federal detention centre in Tacoma, Washington, while extradition proceedings get underway.
