One of the undocumented immigrants who died in a stifling tractor-trailer here Saturday was a 19-year-old who grew up in Northern Virginia and graduated from a Fairfax County high school before getting in trouble with the law and being deported to his native Guatemala, according to court records and government officials.
He was sneaking back into the United States.
Frank G. Fuentes was one of at least six Guatemalans packed into a poorly ventilated truck with scores of other migrants who had crossed the border illegally, said Cristy Andrino, the consul of Guatemala in McAllen, Tex.
Frank G. Fuentes was born in Guatemala but lived most of his life in the United States before being deported in March. He was one of 10 undocumented immigrants killed in an overheated tractor-trailer on Saturday in Texas. (Family photo) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Fuentes had been brought to this country before his third birthday and was deported on March 2 after being convicted of assault and battery by a mob. He was suspected of having ties to Mara Salvatrucha, the deadly street gang also known as MS-13.
The truck driver, James Matthew Bradley Jr., has been charged with smuggling immigrants for financial gain resulting in death after the vehicle became dangerously overheated, killing 10 people and injuring 29 others in one of the worst cross-border smuggling disasters in recent history.
In addition to Fuentes, Andrino said, two Guatemalans were taken from the truck for medical treatment: a 17-year-old male, who remained hospitalized in stable condition as of Tuesday; and a 23-year-old man, who is a witness and has been released and transferred to some form of protective custody.
Theyre relieved that they survived, Andrino said. They didnt know the risks they were facing.

Both parties have been supporting a policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders for 30 years to turn us into Latin America.
The illegal alien inundation was not accidental.
I agree with you.
Nineteen-year-old Fuentes was deported on March 2, 2017 after being convicted of assault and battery by a mob, and grand larceny by pickpocketing, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was suspected of having gang connections.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for him? I wonder if he received a DACA amnesty. What about his parents and their status?
He was apparently MS-13. His life was lost long before he died in that truck.
I suggested the other day that they should use his rancid corpse in public service announcements about the dangers of invading the U.S. like this.
Not necessarily. It depends on when he committed these crimes and when it was know about his gang connections. Sessions has been cracking down on MS-13 and expediting their removal.
McAuliffe has absolutely nothing to do with his deportation.
I have no sympathy for this DREAMER criminal. I have to say I hope they get the message with Trump that they are not welcome here. AT ALL.
I thought the same thing, but then I realized that “assault and battery by a mob” is probably the official name of the criminal charges he faced.
So distraught :^(
Where do I send the Mass card?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mercans live cuz he’s not here.

The cops found him as a result of a little hunch back at the office:
Somehow I don’t think Donald FAGan would approve of those alternate lyrics, but I do.
No sympathy here. His parents should not have broken the law, and he should not have either.
Virginia Law: "§ 18.2-42. Assault or battery by mob"
Lend me a hankie ... My tears are shorting out my keybozzzzt
They snuck that in there, probably because they had to.
Then the illegal should be pissed at his parents, not those Americans they violated.
I guess after WWII, France should have let the Germans stay too.
Wonder how many of the estimated 100+ in that truck had been deported before? Chances are good that he wasn’t the only one.
Trump promised to get rid of the gangsters. He is keeping that promise.
I wonder how many have been deported already?
