CBP Officer Indicted in Alleged Hotel Assaults in Suburban Chicago

Federal Charges Filed Against CBP Officer

On December 4, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer Luis Urbie on 10 counts of deprivation of rights and one count of brandishing a firearm in connection with a series of alleged assaults and robberies at suburban hotels in Illinois.

Urbie, 44, worked as an armed CBP officer and immigration officer assigned to O'Hare Airport at the time of the alleged incidents. Prosecutors state that all four alleged victims were of Chinese descent and that the events took place at hotels in Schaumburg and Naperville between February and October 2022.

Alleged Incidents in Schaumburg and Naperville

According to the indictment, Urbie allegedly forced his way into hotel rooms on six separate occasions throughout 2022, where the victims were staying. Prosecutors say he used his service weapon, official credentials, and the authority of his position to either rob the victims, attempt to sexually assault them, or both.

Prosecutors report that the first alleged incident occurred between February 5 and 23, 2022, when a woman staying at a Schaumburg hotel heard a knock at her door. Urbie allegedly entered the room, told her she needed to cooperate, pushed her head onto the bed, and attempted to perform oral sex. The woman offered him money to stop, and prosecutors say he accepted and left, pointing a gun at her and instructing her not to look at him as he exited.

A second alleged incident occurred between February 6 and 27, 2022, involving another woman staying at a hotel in Naperville. Prosecutors state that this victim worked in the sex industry. After a knock at her door, Urbie allegedly entered at gunpoint, identified himself as an officer, demanded money, and then forced her to perform oral sex without consent. Later, when the victim went to see another client in a different hotel room, Urbie allegedly entered that room and robbed her a second time before leaving after hearing people outside.

Prosecutors say that after this, the second victim went to stay with the first victim at another hotel. Before the second victim was scheduled to leave Chicago, Urbie allegedly forced his way into that room and robbed her again at gunpoint. He allegedly demanded oral sex, which she refused, and then forcibly removed her clothing and sexually assaulted and battered her as she tried to scream.

Further Allegations and Investigation

Prosecutors state that the first victim later met with Urbie to obtain his photograph and to offer him free sex to persuade him to stop his attacks. It is alleged that he agreed, but prosecutors say he subsequently attacked another victim on October 2, 2022, at a hotel in Schaumburg.

In that October 2 incident, prosecutors say Urbie forced his way into the room of a third victim while displaying his badge and gun, robbed her, and sexually assaulted her. The victim then reported the robbery and assault to another person staying at the hotel. Schaumburg police arrived at the hotel two days later, were informed of the allegations, and received a photograph of Urbie.

A forensic investigation followed. According to the indictment, travel records and Google Maps searches showed that Urbie traveled to the Schaumburg hotel where the third victim was staying.

Prosecutors allege that a few days after the October 2 incident, Urbie again forced his way into a hotel room at the same Schaumburg location, this time occupied by a fourth victim. He allegedly robbed her, pulled out a knife, attempted to remove her clothing, and tried to sexually assault her. The attempt was interrupted when there was a knock at the room’s door.

Court Proceedings and Official Response

Authorities arrested Urbie while he was working at a CBP facility on a Tuesday following the indictment. He appeared in court that same day for arraignment, pleaded not guilty, and was ordered to remain in custody until a detention hearing. Urbie is scheduled to appear in court again on December 15.

A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection stated that federal privacy laws prohibit discussing individual cases but said that the agency takes all allegations of employee misconduct seriously.
