U.S. Fugitive Deported
Nicholas Himmelsbach,
wanted by New Mexico
authorities, is in the
hands of U.S. officials
after being deported
from Costa Rica on
Tuesday.
Heavily guarded and
escorted by Costa Rican
immigration officials,
the 26 year old
Himmelsbach will now
face a New Mexico court.
"Because of his
aggressive nature, the
foreigner was deported
in a private flight paid
for by the U.S.
authorities", said Heidi
Bonilla, a spokesperson
for the Dirección de
Migración (Costa Rican
immigration service).
Himmelsbach, waved
goodbye and shook the
hands of his immigration
escorts before boarding
his flight. The fugitive
had fought police on his
arrest, escaping the
first time around, only
to be captured again
several hours later.
Costa Rican authorities
say that Himmelsbach
entered Costa Rica
illegally in March as
there is no record of
his entry into the
country nor on his
passport.
