Incredibly enough the judge said they would be flight risks to go to Mexico. The term may well have been low security rather than low risk. Apparently prisons with cells are primarily for high risk offenders.
But supposedly these agents are really hard-core criminals, worthy of an unprecedented (for cops) sentence for "using guns in the commission of a crime." Why then would they be in a "low-security" institution?
And why would they flee to Mexico, where there are drug gangs (some of whom have openly threatened them), who assassinate cops and behead them? Maybe rednesss can help us, because he is so good at seeing through what he considers implausible stories/s
Which case are you referring to? I've read the judges order, and it didn't say anything about flight risk.
