Don't if this is a dupe. This morning I was reading about a U.S veteran who was looking to buy a sandwich and crossed into Mexico by accident. He tried to turn back, but it was too late, and the Mexicans refused to allow him back into the U.S. I guess he had a few firearms with him, all licensed. Doesn't matter, the Mexicans are holding him on weapons charges. Pretty messed up they would do this to him. Maybe Kerry can do something for once, and try to get him out.

From CNN:
For more than a month, a U.S. Marine and Afghanistan war veteran has been held in a Tijuana, Mexico, prison, fighting for his release after being charged with a crime he says he did not commit.
"I accidentally drove into Mexico with 3 guns ... a rifle (AR-15), a .45 cal pistol and a 12 gauge pump shotgun with no intensions (sic) on being in Mexico or being involved in any criminal activities," Tahmooressi wrote in a statement of innocence to U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter. "I have rights to all 3 weapons. They are under my name ... Please help me."
Hunter, a California Republican, is among several lawmakers who have recently begun petitioning for Tahmooressi's release. Last week, Hunter wrote a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, urging him to get involved.
