Many people post questions here asking about the future. No one online can validly predict what the future holds. The airport TSA or ICE personnel have a myriad of information and investigation tools and could stop you as you attempt to flee. Illegal working. No income tax filed. Abuse of process. Or something else.
Apparently you don't know what you might be arrested for in a couple weeks.
Perhaps the warrant is for your arrest to solve all the problems Enron created. Did you work for Madoff? Check with you hired lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.
Good luck to you.
God bless.

I read your question as that there is an investigation underway, and you anticipate that it might result in a criminal charge and an arrest warrant. Something to consider is that while the individual might be eligible for release pending trial, if the individual is arrested at the airport prepared to leave the country, it might have a negative impact on pretrial release. In other words, the Government prosecutor would argue that the individual was aware of the likelihood of criminal charges and intended to flee the country, and is therefore a flight risk.
If you are asking this question because it pertains to you, I strongly urge you to speak with an attorney in the district where you reside. I cannot provide you with any legal advice since I do not practice in California and do not have sufficient facts.
If there is a federal or state criminal arrest warrant, it will likely be entered into the NCIC national crime database. Once this occurs, it is likely that someone could be detained and arrested upon re-rentry into this country from an International flight.
Of course, if the arrest warrant has not yet been issued, it is unlikely that a passenger would be detained, or arrested.
