According to the Border Patrol agents' website, the drug smuggler was granted a green card!
The prosecutor has put out a Myth and Reality fact sheet denying this, but the agents' website says the truth is that the green card was in fact granted, and only revoked after whathisname was caught trying to smuggle an even larger batch of drugs into the country.
I would love to know for sure what the truth is. I sure as hell am not taking Sutton's word for anything.
But you are taking the word of two convicted felons. Or more exactly, the web site set up by supporters of two convicted felons, probably by their lawyers.
The guy was NOT given a green card. He was given the right to be in the country for the trial, nothing more.
He was not re-arrested with more drugs.
