Y’all might remember this post about an illegal immigrant who is alleged to have stabbed another man in the sternum while on bail, and later got picked up in Prince William County, where he was awaiting extradition to Montgomery County. In today’s Examiner, Freeman Klopott and Kathleen Miller write:

Calderon-Melendez was arrested in Virginia last month and is now fighting to stay there until he’s deported, he told The Examiner from the Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center.

“If I’m here, there’s a better chance they’ll send me back to El Salvador. My wife needs my help and I’m the only one who can help her,” he said in Spanish, adding he worries for his family’s safety because he left the MS-13 gang in El Salvador shortly before he slipped across the U.S.-Mexico border last year.

But police and federal officials say even if the charges had stemmed from crimes allegedly committed in Prince William, he’d likely still serve prison time before being deported.
