It is unknown why Sanchez-Solorzano was headed to Miami, but U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, D-Texas, said intelligence sources reported a meeting between the Maras and al-Qaida as recently as six months ago. Ortiz called the Central American gang dangerous and said they have cells in major cities across the United States.
I would like to compliment the Border Patrol, Ortiz said of Sanchez-Solorzanos capture. This is very significant.
Sanchez-Solorzano was arraigned Tuesday morning by U.S. Magistrate Judge John William Black, who gave him time served on a charge of illegal entry.
Doty said Sanchez-Solorzano whose affiliation with the Maras became known through the gangs distinctive tattoos will be deported and returned to Honduras.
Huh?
Time out here. This thug was KNOWN to have had a meeting with al-Qaeda and their only intention is to DEPORT him?
I'm hoping this is just bad REPORTING here. Man.
BTT
"This thug was KNOWN to have had a meeting with al-Qaeda and their only intention is to DEPORT him?"
That is why we need border/immigration reform!
Last night Jim Sensenbrenner, when asked why the Senate and White House would not consider the provisions for immigration...which the House passed in HB10 by 68%, said:
"Because they were unilling to stand up to the illegal alien lobby."
