Sgt Tahmooressi (active reserve) is in the Tijuana jail since the end of March, when he entered by accident He left the parking lot where he'd parked it while walking in to Tj and made a left assuming that would head him back to the San Diego.

On being stopped he asked to be allowed to reenter to the US, and volunteered he had guns in his truck.

He was taken into custody and he's been there ever since.

There's a petition to the White House at http://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/demand-release-usmc-sgt-tahmooressi-suffering-ptsd-mexico-imprisonment/qslJk2Xd

Signatures are needed to get the administration to consider a response, hopefully some government action, perhaps by John Kerry S-State.

the Mexicans are becoming a real pain in the azz with this stuff.... NOT the first time they have treated a US Serviceman or citizen in this manner.... perhaps the US should assume the EXACT same attitude and procedures when dealing with Mexicans entering the US.....

Today, in Mexico, SS Kerry brought it up with his Mexican counter-part. That raised it a new level.
Hopefully he can't back off now.

The petition for the Sgt. went over the top today; now at 103,213

It'll be interesting to hear the response from the administration.

Maybe we can trade 12 million Mexican illegal immigrants for one Marine ...

Obama, in effect, sent this Marine to Afghanistan twice, but has left him behind in a stinking Mexican prison. Thanks for nothing CINC ...

+1 signed, I've been keeping up with this since Sgt T. got locked up - pizzes me off that our gov't has done ZIP for him!

Seems like it takes Fox News to get anything moving...

Over 108,000 signatures, I say keep 'em going.

You mean to tell me that there are not enough Marines at Pendelton to go get him?

There is enough of us old Jarheads on Leatherneck that could get the job done, praying for our Brother, Semper Fidelis
