SAN ANTONIO — One of the undocumented immigrants who died in a stifling tractor-trailer here this weekend was a 19-year-old who lived in the United States and graduated from high school in Northern Virginia before apparently being deported to his native Guatemala, according to interviews with government officials and postings on social media.

Frank G. Fuentes was one of at least three Guatemalan nationals on a truck packed with undocumented immigrants and driven by James Matthew Bradley Jr., said Cristy Andrino, the consul of Guatemala in McAllen, Tex. Fuentes previously had lived in Virginia, Andrino said.

The Guatemalan government said Fuentes, who was initially described as 20-years-old, died of “heat exposure and asphyxiation.” Bradley has been charged with smuggling immigrants for financial gain resulting in death.

(Snip to the money quote, seven paragraphs down)

Fuentes lost (DACA) protection after committing crimes in the United States and was deported to Guatemala City, Barillas told Univision on Monday. He was attempting to reunite with family members in the Washington area, Barillas said.

DREAMer allowed by Obama in 2012 to stay in the United States. In 2016, DREAMer pleads guilty to committing crimes, loses his DACA protection and is deported. In 2017, criminal and former DREAMer tries to sneak back into the United States and is broiled alive in the back of a tractor-trailer.

Trump's fault.

You knew it’d be Trump’s fault sooner or later. MSM has their fake news narrative marching orders now.

How'd I miss this gem?

An aspiring rapper.

Aren't they all.

Interesting. Looks like they updated this article only minutes after I posted it.

They also changed the title.

Mara Salvatrucha, the deadly street gang.

Better known as MS-13.

It also appears Fuentes was deported on March 2, 2017. Earlier in this thread you said he was deported in 2016.

“...after being convicted of assault and battery by a mob.”

How nice of that mob to convict him.

The media just can’t say illegal alien can they?

And that says everything you need to know about them being a monopoly.

Not a dream - a nightmare.

I’m surprised WaPo even admits he had a record.

No, it was Trump's harsh border enforcement that forced him to sneak across in the truck./sarc

Don't you know how this works yet?

If he had not broken the laws, he would still be alive.

They should use this guy's rancid corpse to make public service announcements -- in both English and Spanish -- warning about the dangers of entering the U.S. illegally.

While we're at it, let's give the truck driver a pat on the back for doing his part to Make America Great Again. /sarcasm only partly off/
