Fugitive linked to Zetas captured in Roma [South Texas]

HIDALGO — The U.S. Border Patrol turned over a fugitive believed to have ties to a powerful Mexican paramilitary group to agents in that country Thursday, federal authorities said.

Miguel Angel Hernandez Barrón was wanted for deserting the army and separate gun charges, said Reynosa-based Judge Ayala Santos, with the Instituto Nacional de Migración, a federal immigration court.

Hernandez Barrón is believed to be the brother of Victor Manuel Hernandez Barrón, a top member of the Zetas and the purported personal bodyguard of alleged Gulf Cartel leader Osiel Cárdenas, authorities said.

Federal agents detained Miguel Hernandez Barrón on Wednesday in Roma after receiving a tip that he was living in the country illegally.

But during the day and a half that they held him in the United States, agents with the Border Patrol, the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would not officially confirm his capture.

Even after his transfer to Mexico on Thursday, the agencies would only say that a Mexican fugitive had been detained and handed over to authorities.

But video footage from the transfer at the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge showed Miguel Hernandez Barrón signing immigration paperwork under guard from heavily-armed Mexican agents.

My goodness, you'd think this Justice Dept. would hold a press conference and a perp walk for a high profile nab like that.

But then that might confirm the recent reports of the Zetas being all over this country. Couldn't have that.

Must not have had enough pesos to buy the correct color ball (that is to bribe the draft board). M

Gorgeous, not smart. They *can* come in the same package, but often the real gorgeous ones are dumb as rocks. You don't have to have brains to be a movie actress or model.

The real question here is what prompted the US to get off it’s backside and pick him up?
