After spending 181 days in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the border with legally owned firearms, a Mexican judge has ordered Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi back to jail after Tahmooressi waited long and hard for his first court date.
Abandoned by Obama, who has not lifted one finger to help this Marine who has saved the lives of fellow Marines in combat, Tahmooressi must now wait till August 4th for his next court date.
The 26-year-old veteran of two tours in Afghanistan was finally able to tell his story to a judge, after his case had been delayed by both Mexico’s unpredictable legal system and his own trouble settling on a lawyer. It was not immediately clear what Tahmooressi said at the evidentiary hearing, which was closed to the public. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for August 4.
Despite the judge’s ruling, Tahmooressi’s attorney, Fernando Benitez, told reporters that he was confident that the Marine’s case was on the right track. Benitez said that his client’s statement to the judge was “sound and made perfect sense,” and claimed that irregularities with Tahmooressi’s detention were grounds for dismissal of the case. The attorney said that his client was not provided with consular services for nearly eight hours after he was detained, nor did he have access to an adequate translator.
In addition, Benitez said that the order to search Tahmooressi’s vehicle was dated March 28, three days before the Marine crossed the border.
Benitez had earlier sought to dampen hopes that federal Judge Victor Octavio Luna Escobedo would free Tahmooressi, although supporters, including his mother, Jill Tahmooressi, had held out hope.
Tahmooressi has been held since March 31, when he accidentally drove into Mexico at the San Ysidro, Calif., Port of Entry late March 31, after becoming disoriented from poorly lit street signs and being in a position on the road unable to make a last ditch U-turn. His family believes his post-traumatic stress disorder also may have contributed to his confusion. He was charged with violating Mexico’s strict gun laws because he had three registered guns, along with all his worldly possessions, in his vehicle.
Tahmooressi appeared in court on April 28, but that hearing was gaveled before it began after the judge learned Tahmooressi had his attorney fired the night before for advising Tahmooressi to commit what the family considered to be perjury.
After Wednesday’s hearing, Tahmooressi was taken back to El Hongo Prison in Tecate under heavily-armed guard.

You have to be a high ranking terrorist or a loser like Bergdahl for obutthole to release you.
Hope people are waking up to the Obummer indoctrination, He is doing NOTHING good for our country, and I am sure Soros is proud of him
It would be over in a matter of days if the trucking companies would refuse to deliver to mexico.
I’m disgusted and embarrassed by this whole affair. The thought that a President of the United States would not retrieve a soldier, property of the United States Government ( G.I = Government Issue) but at the same times allows , though thinly veiled, the illegal immigration of foreign nationals into our country is despicable.The Obama administration governs from a position of self involvement, i.e Obama doesn’t like gun’s , Obama leaves you to rot in a Mexican Hell Hole. Oppose Obama he sicks the I.R.S on you . Tell the Truth , Snowden , Manning , and it compromises Obama , Obama seeks revenge. I don’t know why we thought a one term Senator from Illinois could assume a two front war , the worlds largest economy at a time of crisis , the most powerful military in the world and somehow manage it. This person , Barrack Obama is WAY beyond his pay grade , competency & intellectual capacity, he is ego centric and I believe sociopathic and little more than a “street hustler” , a Con Man gaming “Whitey” and don’t White Kids always fall for the Ghetto Hustle ? No ? Then you never bought drugs in High School.Obama is a mentally disturbed man , unfit for duty & self absorbed, he is paranoid , The NSA spied on Americans because it was directed to do so via “back channels” , probably Jarrett . I believe Barrack Obama is 100% capable of starting a War or creating an “Incident” that would ,in his twisted mind” justify martial law , suspension of elections & shutting down the internet. In short ” IT’S ALL ABOUT HIM” , any policy or action he takes is self serving and though it may seem it’s altruristic , he’s merely “throwing the dog’s a bone” , he is Marie Antionette incarnate and he should suffer the same fate. I do not trust him and that is morphing into fearing him because I believe he would flush everyone of us , kids included, down the drain to keep his vanity in tact & his power unchallenged. He is a Black Man with a “chip on his shoulder” and White America ..you are the enemy, don’t kick yourself , you just got had by a con man , a bitter and unfufilled man. We have two years left of the mentally imbalanced person as his presidency starts to unravel so too will he in direct proportion, THIS IS DANGEROUS, case in point as the Nixon presidency came unraveled during Watergate , James Sclessinger & Henry Kissinger , through back channels , informed the Joint Chiefs that NO nuclear or military commands from the President were to be obeyed without first consulting them, YES it was that unstable, well as the Impeachment Demands rise to a crescendo so too will Obamas lawless behavior , the whole damn thing is spinning out of control & we’ll all be lucky to survive it.
Face it people,we are at WAR,under ATTACK & INVASION! These Mexican VERMIN,do not want to be Americans,they want to make this country another 3rd world $#%&!@*hole like the one they came from! IT MUST BE STOPPED,IT IS TIME TO TAKE UP ARMS AND FIGHT BACK!
Come on Obama free our marine. Trade some of the $#%&!@* you allow to come across our border.
Why do the decent presidents get shot, but the ones that do the most destruction don’t?
This is totally disgusting this man has suffered enough let him go stop all the unnecassary BS
BOYCOTT MEXICO!!!
