I heard Congresswoman Ilean Ros Leithen (not sure how to spell her name, she is the Cuban American congresswoman from Miami) say on Fox News that the prison where Hammar is locked up in is not under the control of the Mexican government. It is run by one of the cartels. Even if the president and government of Mexico wanted to release him they might not have the power to do it. We should send Seal Team 6 down there.
God this young man is in my prayers. I as an American first with Mexican ancestry and speak Spanish fluently. NO WAY would I go down to that hell hole call Mexico. My father’s family lives in Mexico City I love them but no thank you I rather skype then fly or drive down there. People please I know Mexico has great beaches and food but just stay away it is not worth it.
