A Honduran man who has repeatedly been deported was sentenced Friday to 24 years in prison for kidnapping his estranged girlfriend in Kansas City, Mo., and raping her while they traveled to New Jersey, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey. Jose Amaya-Vasquez, 33, was arrested in Texas in 2005 for attempting to enter the country illegally. He was released, but failed to show up for a court date, records show. In June, 2014, Kansas City police arrested him for domestic assault. He was turned over to immigration officials and deported. Three months later, immigration officers arrested him near Eagle Pass, Texas, for illegally re-entering the U.S.

Freudian slip. I bet this Honduran is wishing that he jumped the california border.

Bad headline punctuation. I read it as “Man in U.S. || illegally sentenced || for kidnap, rape.” I assume it’s supposed to be read as “Man || in U.S. illegally || sentenced for kidnap, rape.”

What do you expect from journalists today? Grammar, punctuation, facts? You must be pulling your hair out whenever you read the crap that journalist write these days. I know I do. 8>)

BYW, the rule here is to use the actually title of the article, and that's what bgill did. 8>)

We need a special prison reserved for criminal non-citizens, say on a tiny island in the Aleutian chain.

Man, in U.S. illegally, sentenced for kidnap & rape

The article author probably left out the commas on purpose for people that only read headlines.

In the tradition of the headline that inspired a book, “Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim”

“He was illegally sentenced?! Commas are your friend...”

Exactly what I was thinking. What genius writes some of these headlines these days?

Can’t decide if its third grade grammar students writing headlines or just going for click bait?

Drives me crazy as well. I also hate all the "lispy" news readers. I swear, it's all the botox around their face that doesn't allow their mouth/tongue to allow them to speak properly.

I actually stopped watching all of them years ago. So I’ll take your word on that. 8>)

I prefer a Iceberg, towed by an old aircraft carrier. Unlimited space, free water but a painful existence, impossible to escape from. It sounds like true deterrence.
