I have known about this story for over a month because I know the sister of the marine being held in a Mexican Prison. It is just now starting to make national headlines which is necessary to get one of our own out of the prison and back into our country. I will post links to a few articles that explain the details of what happened. Sign the petition on one of the links so that the total number can reach 100,000 to be addressed by the white house. Senators are starting to pick up on the situation now. We can let all of the illegals in from Mexico but cannot bring one of our own back home who has defended this country on two tours overseas.

How long was he imprisoned before he tried to escape and landed in the federal pen?

So what, exactly, is a petition going to do?

I hope they release him, but this doesn't sound like the way to do it.

Maybe the First Lady can hashtag him to freedom.

This entire story requires some clarification. For the record, I (and many) have literally taken a wrong turn/failed to take an exit and ended up in TJ. It happens. If you have booze or guns or whatever, they generally turn you over to one of our own (state, DoD, etc). It's crazy that any command (or Navy Region SW or the Marines, or any number of DoS officials) aren't raising hell about this.

Mexico is off limits to Marines. They told me so when I was crossing back into the US after watching the donkey show once.

He took guns into a foreign country. Sorry, but he broke the law. being a marine don't excuse that.

Perhaps we should work out a trade...a few thousand illegal Mexicans for one American.

This is the problem with "no intent" laws and regulations.

It creates accidental criminals.

Greta covered the route on Fox News and it really makes it clear how he could have accidently crossed the border at night. It's retarded that it's not easier to avoid.

I'm sure if he looked more like Obama's imaginary sons he would have been freed by now.

I did the same thing back in 2009. Was in the wrong lane and coulding turn around.I was on my way back to Louisiana from Califorina.Had a 357 mag. a 9 mm and three 12 ga. shot guns.Didn't think about them untill I turned around in Mexico.The guard ask where I was comming from.I told him I was in the wrong lane and just turned around in Mexico .He took my Name and wrote down my tag number. GOD WAS WITH ME THAT DAY. I would have been still in jail or dead my now. I had over 1500 shot gun shells that I had reloaded with me.
