An illegal Mexican immigrant who has been deported from the U.S. no less than four times was arrested in Texas after he threatened to kill a neighbor and was found with a loaded gun in his truck.
Omar Garcia-Vasquez, 44, was arrested on Tuesday in McLean, just east of Amarillo. A sheriff’s deputy responded to a 911 call about “a man with a gun,”the Amarillo Globe-News reported.
The caller said a man had threatened his family, according to a charging document filed in U.S. District Court in Amarillo on Friday.
The caller identified Garcia-Vasquez as he was getting out of his truck. The deputy said he appeared to be intoxicated. When the deputy questioned Garcia-Vasquez, he said that he was planning to kill someone.
Garcia-Vasquez acknowledged he had a weapon in his truck. The deputy searched and found a loaded and cocked .22-caliber revolver on the console.
Garcia-Vasquez was arrested on the spot and taken to jail. According to the Globe-News, he was taken to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement where he was fingerprinted and identified as a Mexican national.
Records also showed that Garcia-Vasquez had been removed from the U.S. four times. The most recent removal was in 2008.

“He faces charges of illegal alien in possession of a firearm.”
But none for actually being in the country illegally.
Hahaha! Dude, you beat me to it. Talk about dodging the root of the problem. Oh the insanity.
Apparently being here ILLEGALLY means it is not ILLEGAL anymore. I’m confused.
You might need the ‘board of wisdom’ to alleviate that confusion, NC.
I hear it works well for JD & Millard.
