Santana Gaona was accused of rape. He was placed in Dallas County jail and red-flagged as an illegal immigrant. For some reason, the rape charge collapsed, but he was still here illegally. So one would assume, that since he was already in custody, he would be deported. Not so. Federal immigration officials say they can't reveal why they cancelled their detainer and allowed him to be released from jail.
Seven weeks later, he shot and killed Jesse Benavides at a family birthday party in Dallas. FBI Agent Danny Defenbaugh is bumfuzzled by the situation. "I wouldn't expect any law enforcement entity to let the guy run amok," he said, adding that it sounded "ugly." I expect there are quite a few people who share Defenbaugh's puzzlement.
