ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IN REVERSE

U.S. citizen was captured in Mexico after shooting rampages north and south of the border resulting in the death of a heroic Mexican cop who died shielding children from gunfire

Whenever we read or hear anything about illegal immigration, Mexicans immediately come to mind. But what about U.S. citizens who go to Mexico in order to escape the clutches of John Law? Most criminals fleeing to Mexico where in the U.S. illegally to begin with, but there are a substantial number of U.S. citizens that flee to Mexico after committing a serious crime in this country, usually murder.

Ignacio Ruiz, 37, is such a man. He was born in San Jose, California and that makes him a citizen of the U.S. Iggy is not a very nice man. He is on parole for the attempted capital murder of a cop. He has told family and friends, “I am not going back to prison. I will shoot it out.”

On New Year’s day, Iggy shot and killed Joshua Vidales and wounded another person in a residence in Atascosa, Texas, a town about 20 miles southwest of San Antonio. Iggy fled with Janel Cerda to El Paso in his Mazda. Janel who was present during the killing of her cousin Joshua is thought to have been Iggy’s girlfriend. They crossed the border into Piedras Negras where they ended up in a taxicab. The cab driver was ordered to stay away from any area with police. When the cab came upon some cops, Iggy got really pissed off. The cabbie abandoned the cab and tried to get away. Ruiz shot him fur times and he later died.

Then Iggy took off in the cab followed by the police in a high-speed chase. When they forced him off the road, he shot it out with the police, mortally wounding Piedras Negras officer Antonio Sorina de Luna, 24, and wounding two women bystanders before he gave up.

Shoot it out he did, but whatever happened to “I am not going back to prison"?

Janel was also taken into custody. Iggy told the cops that he had forced Janel to accompany him because she witnessed him killing her cousin.

The slain officer was described as a special hero because he died while trying to shield two children from Ruiz’s gunfire.

Now the Mexicans can complain about illegal immigrants from the U.S. committing crimes in their country.
