Four immigrants and a pilot were detained after a Homeland Security Department division helped surround their plane at Stinson Municipal Airport on Monday night.
The five are being investigated in connection with a smuggling operation involving Chinese nationals, said Capt. Jeff Humphrey, San Antonio police special operations commander.
The five had been flying in a single-engine Cessna 172P south of San Antonio.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement requested help from the San Antonio Police Department, which provided a Chinese linguist to translate for the two male and two female passengers.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane is co-owned by Afzal Hameed of Dover, Del., and Alyce S. Taylor.

NEW at NOON-
I think we've hit a 'lock down' on new details on this case but last night, our pilot, who was reported as Christian Delgado-Gomez (age: 22) yesterday now is only being referred to as Christian Delgado, was arraigned last night in front of a judge and was told that he will only get FIVE years for four counts of human smuggling. geez.

In a 'live' report minutes ago, on KSAT 12, from the court house, the four Chinese illegals have been arraigned where there will be NO CHARGES HELD AGAINST THEM!!! They are to be detained and held over as material witnesses in the case against, who KSAT is still referring to as Christian Delgado-Gomez (these folks have more names than the Devil himself!).

Now there have been more details on what was paid or charged the illegals. The first report I heard said they were being charged up to $100,000. A later report said between $40,000-$100,000 which makes me think that our little weasel, Hameed, is blowing hot hair out his arse when yesterday he said he has rented out this VERY SAME PLANE (which there still seems to be a million questions about) to this Delgado guy a couple of times a week for the last several months to a year and had NEVER had a problem with him. Kickbacks, hmmmm?

Well the bottom line today is that the four illegals paid $22,000 each to get them to New York City.
Sooooo, $88,000 for a quick trip from Eagle Pass to San Antonio or was it???

And this raises those BIGGER
questions again. Did they just walk across the border and hop on the plane in Eagle Pass or did they fly across? The plane has always been said to be illegally flying in US airspace. In an interview with Gov. Good Hair.... errrrr... Perry last night he simply said when asked about it, "They breached our airspace, and we caught 'em."

So my big questions still are.. Did they fly across the Mexico border and how and why were Homeland Security so into this thing from the very start??

More as I get it.
