A Maze escaper facing deportation from the United States has said he will appeal to the head of the Department of Homeland Security. Pól (Paul) Brennan was arrested at a border checkpoint in Texas in 2008 because his US work permit had expired. A judge ruled he should be deported and an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals was rejected. He said he will now appeal to Janet Napolitano. He escaped from the Maze in 1983 along with 37 other republican prisoners. The 55-year-old told the Irish Echo newspaper an appeal to the head of Homeland Security would be his "last chance" to remain in the US. Full Story >>

I read the linked story, as well as some of the other things that a Google search brought up. Conclusion: a)he didn't get 16 years for nothing; b)it's a shame he didn't try to drive through the Immigration checkpoint. it would have saved everyone so much effort and expense, as well as perhaps balancing the scales of justice a little bit. I would have gladly paid for the ammunition used.
