Thank you for contacting me about U.S. Marine Corps veteran Andrew Tahmooressi who is in prison in Mexico awaiting trial. I appreciate hearing from you and having the opportunity to respond.
On March 31, 2014, Mexican authorities arrested and jailed Mr. Tahmooressi after he drove into Mexico with three guns and ammunition in his car. The possession of any weapon restricted for U.S. Army use is a federal crime in Mexico. The State Department's Mexico Travel Warning states that "Entering Mexico with a firearm, certain types of knives, or even a single round of ammunition is illegal, even if the weapon or ammunition is taken into Mexico unintentionally. U.S. citizens entering Mexico with a weapon or any amount of ammunition, even accidentally, generally are detained for a few days, and can be arrested and prosecuted. If convicted, they may face lengthy prison sentences."
On June 3, 2014, Senator John McCain sent a letter to the Ambassador of Mexico to the United States. Senator McCain stated that this case is "rightfully a Mexican judicial matter" and asked the Mexican President and other Mexican leaders to fully investigate the facts of Mr. Tahmooressi's case. Members from the California congressional delegation are taking the lead on this issue and I stand ready to provide them with any assistance they may need.
I will continue to monitor this situation and should the Senate consider action on the matter, I will keep your thoughts in mind. Again, thank you for contacting me.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

watch4bear I am wondering how long that marine would have stayed in jail if the 4 Federal Mexican Troops that were caught on USA soil were jailed on this side instead of being escorted back to their side of the border. Just wondering. Cheers NC
