Mexico can have this guy back now
Linky...
Quote:
A homeless, 22-year-old, undocumented immigrant from Mexico was found secretly living inside a Twin Cities high school last year, using the showers and foraging for cafeteria food. Francisco Javier Serrano's story captivated the news media there and moved a wealthy developer to provide him with money, an immigration attorney, and a rent-free apartment overlooking downtown Minneapolis.
But immigration officials ordered Serrano back to Mexico. Officials believed that he boarded a plane for his home country Jan. 5, and it seemed to be a closed case.
Then, two weeks ago, a tenant in Boston's North End heard a sound inside his apartment. A man with a knife had broken in. The tenant struck the intruder with a kitchen pan, and police responded to find Serrano and the tenant in a struggle, authorities said.
Now, Serrano sits in Suffolk County Jail facing charges of home invasion. And authorities, the friends he made in Minnesota, and even his mother in Mexico City are trying to figure out how and why the baby-faced, quiet man ended up in a stranger's apartment in Boston.
Because Serrano has no history of violence and did not hurt the tenant, prosecutors expect to downgrade the charge of home invasion to breaking and entering, said David Procopio, spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for April 28. If convicted, he could face up to 2 1/2 years in the County House of Correction. After serving the sentence, he would be deported, Counts said.

So... the US courts will be tied up with this, he'll spend time in a US jail being fed every day, THEN we'll finally get around to sending him back to Mexico?
Why was he not escorted onto the plane when he was sent back the first time? So many things wrong with how this was handled. :error
