Mexican Immigrant Arrested in Boston Apr 13 1:35 PM US/Eastern Email this story
BOSTON
A young illegal immigrant who became a cause celebre in Minnesota after secretly living in a high school for weeks has been arrested here on home invasion charges, months after he was supposed to have left the country.
Francisco Javier Serrano, 22, had waved goodbye to supporters and journalists who saw him off at the Minneapolis airport in January, but he apparently never boarded his plane for his home country of Mexico.
Two weeks ago, police arrested him after finding him with a knife in an apartment in Boston's North End, struggling with the tenant, who was unharmed, The Boston Globe reported Thursday. He remained in Suffolk County Jail facing home invasion charges and eventual deportation.
Serrano, who overstayed a 2002 tourist visa to live with his father and attend high school in suburban Minneapolis, was embraced by Minnesotans after he was discovered sleeping in the school's auditorium in January 2005 and told how he had spent weeks hiding there, foraging for cafeteria food and showering in the locker room.
Students handed out "Free Francisco" T-shirts, and a developer gave him a place to live and hired an immigration lawyer for him.
Last fall, a federal judge ruled that Serrano must leave the country but gave him until Jan. 5 to do so. That day Serrano went to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, but his plane ticket was never used.

This is the best line of the whole story.
Snip-
A pretrial hearing was set for April 28. The charges against Serrano probably will be reduced to breaking and entering because he has no history of violence and did not hurt the tenant, said David Procopio, spokesman for the Suffolk district attorney.

Francisco was just doing the home invasion and knife wielding we citizens refuse to do.
Dumb ass!!
I know. He was invading the homes that Americans won't invade.
:-)
ROFL...well I suppose my tag line tells this guys story.
Red from the 70's show certainly tells it like it is. :)
How many of you would have done the same....that is...not boarding that plane back to Mexico.
Walk a mile in his shoes before you condemn him.
Desperate people do desperate things.
No history that is accessible, anyway.
Can I have a mulligan? ;^)
"I know. He was invading the homes that Americans won't invade. "
hahaha perfect!!
Sounds like maybe the tenant was struggling with Serrano to keep from getting stabbed in his own residence. This judge needs some common sense training.
:-)
Just because someone "may" be desperate in their mind does not allow them to break laws.
Under that premise...anyone can justify anything at any time for any reason.....because they were "desperate".
Sorry, I don't buy it. Any other "American" defying a judges DIRECT order would be arrested.
NAH-NAH-NAH-NAH-NAH! [covers ears] ;^)
ROFL....I see nothing..
lalalalalala

whoops....
"Walk a mile in his shoes before you condemn him."
I can't wear his shoes. Those are criminal shoes and they don't fit law abiding people.
The punk broke the law by being here and had total disrespect for any law he came up against. Look at his ilk here in the U.S. now...millions of them who have broken the law and now want their rights. What rights? They don't have any!
The punk is a three time looser. First he is illegal. Second, he assaults and tries to rob a citizen and third, he completely disobeys the order of a judge.
If you want to walk in his shoes why don't you bring him home with you so he can stay there awhile while you walk around the yard with his shoes on. Who knows, maybe it's the shoes that make him do the things he does. I know of guns that make people kill each other.
