“Court orders include requirements for an ankle monitor if Quintana makes bail.”

What? Is Tennessee now giving Oregon, California, Washington, New York, Illinois and Maryland a run for the money?

"if Quintana makes bail"

He should instantly have an ICE detainer place on him.

That’s my town. It pained me to see a handful of people actually defending this illegal. Athens is very conservative, but illegals have been a huge problem for a long time. We are a farming community and farmers use them in the tobacco fields.

"Not sending their best …"

Tat says " Fear God Only" over a flying dove. Teardrop tat under right eye. I think that means he's killed someone.

Will he get another after being convicted for ambushing and killing another - a 17 yo? Sigh.
