SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: The Mexican government is threatening to sue an Army Reserve sergeant who detained seven illegal immigrants last month. U.S. prosecutors have already said they'll not bring charges against Army Reserve Sergeant Patrick Haab (search). Is the Mexican government trying to make an example out of him?
Reserve Sergeant Patrick Haab joins us now for an exclusive interview, along with his attorney, David Cantor. Welcome to you both.
Patrick, why do you suspect Mexico might be coming after you if the United States decided not to press charges?
RESERVE SGT. PATRICK HAAB, DETAINED SEVEN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: Well, they obviously just don't have the facts in the case here. And just resorting to desperate measures.
COLMES: You were not prosecuted, right? Should the illegal immigrants, though, who you stopped have been prosecuted? As I understand it, they were also not prosecuted.
HAAB: I'm not too sure on that, whatever happened there.
COLMES: Mr. Cantor, can you comment on that?
DAVID CANTOR, ATTORNEY: I think they're being held under material witness warrants, because they still think they need them to testify against the coyote, or the human smuggler. So I believe they still are subject to prosecution once that runs its course.
COLMES: As I understand it, they were not prosecuting, Patrick, because citizens can make arrests when felonies are committed. But when you saw them, you didn't know that they were committing a felony. You didn't know if they were legal at the time or what was going on. So I don't understand how they made that decision given that you had no idea that there was a felony being committed at that time.
