A Rwandan man wanted for his alleged role in his country’s 1994 genocide was apprehended in northeastern Maine last week after illegally crossing the U.S.-Canadian border.

Jean Leonard Teganya was arrested August 3 after a local resident of Houlton, Maine reported a “suspicious person” walking in the woods near the Canadian border, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) press release. […]

Teganya is an ethnic Hutu, the majority group in Rwanda. In 1994, he worked as a medical intern at the University Teaching Hospital of Butare, where Hutu extremists killed over 200 patients and staff members who were Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Some medics and nurses were complicit in the slaughter. …

Now how come he didn’t just walk in via the Mexican border.

Would you believe that you’re more likely to be killed by a moose than a black bear?

[Cowboy Bob]

Black man walking n the woods of Maine? I’d say the people were profiling him. That be rasis. He should be released immediately.

Maine has a Mexican border?

Who knew?

[ogen hal]

This article lies...because there are apparently no US borders.

[Olog-hai]

If he found his way to Canada, he sure could find his way to Mexico just as easily.

Gotta write the editors!

Nice catch. Hang him high.

He should have joined the parade stampeding over the southern border. One more criminal taking up illegal residence in the US is just a drop in the bucket.

BTW, for anyone looking for more info about the mid-90s genocide in Rwanda which resulted in over 800,000 deaths, I'd recommend Philip Gourevitch's book We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families. Grim reading, but essential to appreciating the enormous human cost of the Clinton administration's failure to lead in foreign affairs.

A few years from now we will be reading similar horror stories from Iraq, Ukraine, Georgia, and Israel about the human toll from Obama's cowardice and refusal to lead in foreign affairs.

As well as citizenship.
