MIAMI, April 6 (UPI) -- A Honduran torture suspect has been arrested in Palm Beach County, Fla., and is expected to be deported by the United States for the fourth time.
Juan Angel Hernandez Lara, has sneaked back into the country each time he was sent back home to the Honduras, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.
Lara is suspected of being a member of the Honduran death squad in the 1980s.
The arrest at Hernandez Lara's home in Wellington, Fla., is seen as an illustration of the federal government's determination to track down foreign torture suspects.
But it as also viewed as a demonstration of the porous immigration policies that allowed the fugitive to return three times.
Nina Pruneda, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the agency is trying to determine how Hernandez Lara managed to sneak into the country.
