The hearing will allow the attorney for Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi to question four Mexican officials who detained and arrested him after he crossed the border with a rifle, shotgun, pistol and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his pickup truck. Part of Tahmooressi’s defense is that his rights were violated when officials did not follow procedures under Mexican law. Tahmooressi’s mother, Jill, said Sunday that she does not expect the judge to immediately free her son but sees the hearing as “one step closer to his inevitable release.” Tahmooressi remains in a one-man cell in a federal prison outside Tecate. He has moments of despondency but tries to remain optimistic, his mother said shortly after arriving in San Diego from her home in Florida. “This is now in its fifth month, ” she said. “It has gone on exceedingly long but he’s hanging in there — like a good Marine.” Tahmooressi, 26, who did two deployments in Afghanistan and is now in the reserves, had moved to San Diego to receive treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder at the Veterans Affairs hospital in La Jolla. He has consistently said he crossed the border by mistake, missing the turnoff to remain in the U.S. That story was challenged by Mexican officials when Tahmooressi's explanation that he had never before visited Mexico proved to be untrue.[/quote]

Considering Mexico's problem with American gun runners enabling all the violence in their country you can understand why they're so pissed off.
