Border Agent Killer Freed In Mexico
Officials are 'shocked and appalled' that a Mexican judge has released a man imprisoned in connection with the death of a Yuma-based U.S. Border Patrol agent, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Wednesday.Jesus Navarro Montes, arrested Jan. 22 in Mexico, was recently released from a Mexicali prison. Navarro had been sought in Mexico for allegedly smuggling migrants. Navarro Montes is a suspect in the Jan. 19 murder of Border Patrol agent Luis Aguilar. It could not be determined immediately what charges Navarro Montes faced, what charges Mexican authorities presented to the judge in seeking to hold him, whether Navarro Montes had petitioned for bail nor the circumstances of his release.
