U.S.C. 1326 requires that a warrant of deportation be served on the alien." Id.; cf. United States v. Farias-Arroyo, 528 F.2d 904 (9th Cir. 1975) (finding that a warrant had in fact been issued, and holding that the appellant's claim that he had not been "arrested" because he was never physically detained in custody was "without merit").
