The Obama Administration is taking the unusual step of trying to halt the execution of a Mexican citizen who has been sentenced to die for the brutal kidnapping, rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl more than 16 years ago. U.S. authorities want to delay Humberto Leal Garcia's execution --scheduled for Thursday -- for up to six months to give Congress time to consider legislation that would directly affect his case. The federal government rarely intervenes in state death penalty cases. Leal, a 38-year-old from Monterrey, Mexico, wasn't told he could contact the Mexican consulate after his arrest-something his lawyer's argue is mandatory under international law. The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has also appealed to Texas Gov. Rick Perry to call off the lethal injection. "The lack of consular assistance and advice raises concerns about whether or not Mr. Leal Garcia's right to a fair trial was fully upheld," said Rupert Colville, Pillay's spokesman. The legislation would allow federal courts to review cases of condemned foreign nationals. Last week, a U.S. District judge refused to stop the execution, and earlier this week the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied Leal's appeal and motion for a stay of execution. Leal, who has lived in the United States since he was two years old, was sentenced to death in the 1994 rape and killing of Adria Sauceda of San Antonio. The two met at a party, and at some point the teen, who was intoxicated, was placed in Leal's car and the two drove off. A half hour later, Leal's brother showed up at the party and yelled that Leal had arrived home with blood on him, saying he had killed a girl. Police found Sauceda's nude body on a dirt road. She was strangled and had bite marks on her body that matched Leal's teeth, according to prosecutors. Leal is one of 51 Mexican nationals on death row in the U.S. who were never informed of their rights, according to the International Court of Justice. The Obama Administration says in a 30-page brief that going ahead with the execution would result in “irreparable harm.” "That breach would have serious repercussions for United States foreign relations, law-enforcement and other cooperation with Mexico, and the ability of American citizens traveling abroad to have the benefits of consular assistance in the event of detention."

The most important right he had he denied to himself. That was the right to not rape or murder anybody so that he could live his life out as a free man. Stick a needle in him and then turn his corpse over to Mexico and charge them for the legal costs.

Gee, this sure sounds familiar. "President Bush, who presided over 152 executions as governor of Texas, wants to halt the execution of Mexican citizen Jose Ernesto Medellin for the brutal killing of two teenage girls." As it happens he was executed anyway. I guess we're still waiting for the repercussions. There's just something special about Mexican murderers, I guess.
They're going to form a firing squad themselves to prevent any further delay?
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
If Texas let's the Fed boss them around on this they are homos.
Guys like this entering our country is the best reason I know for closing our borders, piss on them..... Let them stay at home, and let their own corrupt government deal with them..... I'm very tired of hearing the stupid/worn out excuse that we need them here because they do work that others won't....... yea right.... he works alright.... at terrorizing innocent people..... almost half of those in our prison system are guys just like him, illegals!!!! A lot of people (Fracking Liberals) whine about the good old days because they think the punishment was too cruel and inhumane.... but if we still subscribed to some of those ways you wouldn't be reading about this clown right now...... He would have been strung up on the spot when he was caught and thrown in the river for a free right back home to mommy and daddy..... thereby saving the taxpayer a whole shitload of money....... and justice would have been served... the right way!!!!! Go Texas!!!! show Obozo where he can stick his appeal!!!!
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!!
There's a war going on right now and it's crossed the Rio Grande. And we want any help from Mexico City in fighting it, we'd better start giving them some results to show who ever's left that will stand with us....

It's the D&R drug cartel vs the Chinese drug cartel. NO, we don't want any help from Mexico, thank you. We should have declared war on Mexico long ago for invading us. Have you noticed the millions of invaders?

Have you noticed the millions of invaders? 1) Notice America does drugs the way it does oil? 1a) Notice there's no such thing as an American Drug Lord? 1b)100's of billions flowing across the border and the Banksters aren't involved? 2) Notice Mexico gives us all their oil? 3) Notice all the oil Mexico can give us has been dropping like a rock? 4)We did declare war on Mexico. 4a) Took a 1/3 of their nation. 5) And then declared Mexico's former citizens who had the border moved away underneath their feet, invaders. 6) Did the same with First Nation. 7)Karma's a bitch...8D
Actually they were allowed to stay so in the future we could put them to good use./s Mexico with it's Spanish colonial attitudes intact never wanted to be the first settle the Southwest anyway. It was way too uncivilized with those nasty indian tribes that needed a good extermination first. The Spanish were only able to settle California because the tribes were like non union workers, complacent and docile.

The UN human rights office called July 1, 2011 on the US state of Texas to spare the life of a Mexican death row inmate convicted of rape and murder, as there were questions about whether he had a fair trial.
