A couple of thoughts on this. Perhaps he was detained because officials in El Paso didn't want him killed on the streets of El Paso. The other thing that bugs me about this story is that this guy seems to believe he has some kind of right to go back and forth across the border, and enter our country, unhindered. The story didn't explain if he has a border crossing card, which many in Juarez do, a green card, or say on what pretext he was entering the United States. I hate it when that happens.

tough call on this one.
I admire his work and but it would be embarrassing if he were killed inm America or killed shortly after re-entering Mexico.
can’t imagine the cries of injustice and inhumanity of the USA.
while he has not asked for help, I am going to side with our guys on this one.

The
El Paso Times reports that he was crossing at the Santa Fe Port of Entry on Thursday night to visit friends in El Paso when he was detained.
That he crossed the border at night caught my attention. Since he fears for his life, it is highly possible that he spends many nights on the American side.

Everybody knows Gustavo. He looks like Santa Claus.
He does look like Richard Attenborough in Miracle on 34th Street.

Why shouldn’t he cross?
Lots of U.S. citizens cross the border to visit in Mexico, such as tourist destinations or relatives/friends. Nothing in the article indicates he intended on staying on the U.S. side permanently.
You puzzle me.
