After Pedro Gonzalez-Aguiar, 46 and Pablo Morales-Torres, 56 were arrested in Reading, Pennsylvania, it was discovered that they were also paroled killers who were supposed to be deported. The problem is Cuba won’t take back killers, so they were just let go when paroled and told to keep in touch:

They were released on the condition they would periodically report to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, in accordance with current immigration laws. As the law stands, an individual who cannot be expected to be deported cannot be held in custody indefinitely.

Jian Liu, an immigration specialist with the Philadelphia law firm of Zarwin, Baum, DeVito, Kaplan, Schaer and Toddy, clarified the law.

“Individuals cannot be expected to be in custody awaiting deportation forever. ICE reviews the deportation status in 90 days. If they cannot be deported after that time, they are released under an order of supervision,” Ms. Liu said. “This means that they are required to report weekly to a specific officer at ICE until deportation can be arranged.”

There is no limit to how long such a person can be supervised, Ms. Liu said. It is at the discretion of the ICE officer.

So let me understand this. We don’t protect our borders like we should, and illegal immigrants from Cuba sneak into the country. While they are here, they kill some people. After serving time in American prisons, at the expense of American taxpayers, Cuba then says, “Um, no thanks. Those guys are killers.” So we just let them go on the honor system and expect them to touch base with us.

Un. Be. Lievable.
