U.S. Appeals Dismissal Of Case Against Cuban Militant Posada
EL PASO (AP) -Federal prosecutors are appealing the dismissal of an immigration fraud case against anti-Castro Cuban militant Luis Posada Carriles.
The government has filed a 64-page appeal asking the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to overrule an El Paso federal district judge’s ruling earlier this year that that case should be dismissed in part because of problems with an immigration interview of Posada.
Posada, who faces a civil deportation order, had been seeking to become a naturalized citizen when federal prosecutors allege he lied to investigators.
The aging militant has been living Miami since his release from federal custody in May.
