Mexico Weighs Lawsuit Against U.S. Army Reservist Who Detained Migrants

The Associated Press
Published: May 6, 2005

MEXICO CITY (AP) - The Mexican government is considering filing a lawsuit against a U.S. Army reservist who detained seven undocumented Mexican migrants at gunpoint in Arizona after U.S. prosecutors declined to bring charges against the man, a Mexican official said Friday.

The Mexican government is discussing the lawsuit with a Los Angeles, California,-based human rights group, Mexican Deputy Foreign Secretary for North America Geronimo Gutierrez said.

The lawsuit could argue that reserve Sgt. Patrick Haab engaged in assault or illegal detention of the Mexican migrants, or caused them mental anguish, Gutierrez said.

"The lawyers are analyzing the best ways to do it," he said in a news conference.

Local prosecutors in Arizona refused to bring charges against Haab in the April 10 case, based on a state law that allows a citizen to make an arrest when a felony - like migrant trafficking - has been committed.

The incident occurred the same month in which civilian volunteers began patrolling the border to detain migrants entering the United States illegally in the so-called Minutemen Project.

Haab said he wasn't participating in that project.

I'm not real worried about the mental anguish of those folks participating in felony crimes.

Mexico should be charged with conspiring to violate US immigration laws. If we had an American in the White House that's exactly what would happen.

If we had an American in the White House...

Or Congress, or the judiciary, or the state governments or the local governments...

Hey now, leave Congress out of this - they have one American.

I applaud his spirit, but I can't really congratulate him on his success.

You're expecting the impossible. I'm impressed he's managed not to get the Dealy Plaza Special thusfar.

Here's something to put things in perspective:

WND ON THE AIR Mexican troops cross U.S. border New book documents regular military incursions

Posted: February 26, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com

Mexican military forces make so many regular incursions into U.S. territory, Border Patrol officers hand out printed instructions to agents on how to handle the situations, according to "On the Line: Inside the U.S. Border Patrol," a new book by a seasoned agent.

Alex Pacheco, a Border Patrol agent regularly assigned to San Diego, volunteered for temporary duty in Ajo, Ariz. He writes that in his second week at the new station, the field operations supervisor distributed index cards with instructions on handling "military incursions."

Mexican Troops Kidnap Texas Family?

As many as eight armed Mexican soldiers crossed the border near a tiny Texas hamlet and kidnapped an American family of five last week, and are still holding one of them, sources tell NewsMax.

According to a law enforcement source who spoke on condition of anonymity, the incident was reported to local authorities by family members upon their release the following day. From there, local officials reportedly contacted the FBI; federal officials are said to be looking into the incident.

The source said the Mexican unit may have been prompted to cross into the U.S. because the family – a father, mother and three minors – were shooting rabbits on their property near Candelaria, Texas, which is located along the border in Presidio County, about 170 miles south-southeast of El Paso.

A law enforcement bulletin describing the incident said the "family of five kidnapped … by Mexican officials at gunpoint" occurred around 5 p.m. local time Nov. 24. U.S. border authorities were notified the next day.

The family was "taken by gunpoint by Mexican officials to Mexico," the bulletin said. "As of Nov. 25 … four of the family members – one female and three minors – were released, while (the father) Escarcega, Ladislado remains in custody."

Presidio County, Texas authorities confirmed to NewsMax the incident had been reported to the sheriff's department, but a spokesman there said the FBI had taken over the investigation and referred questions surrounding the report to them.

An FBI spokeswoman in Washington, D.C., referred NewsMax to the bureau's El Paso, Texas office, but no one there returned calls seeking comment. Nevertheless, the bulletin provided more specifics.

No. I fully understand why he has been unable to make a difference. I was just acknowledging reality.
