On the day he was arrested, Tahmooressi had parked his truck near the border on the U.S. side, and walked or taken a cab into Mexico earlier in the
day. In Tijuana, he checked into Hotel Nelson, near the famous Tijuana arch, but checked out a few hours later because the hotel was dingy. “And I
didn’t really like what I seen in Tijuana that much anyway with all the authorities and things,” he told Fox News’ Greta Van Sustern on May 30, two
months after his arrest. “I didn’t feel very safe or comfortable there.”
...On Oct. 1, two Republican congressmen, California's Ed Royce and Arizona's Matt Salmon have scheduled a hearing on Tahmooressi in Washington.
Tahmooressi's mother and the talk show host Montel Williams, a former Marine who has devoted his Twitter feed to spreading the word about Tahmooressi
(and tamping down some of the sillier rhetoric, like calls for a jail break), are scheduled to testify.
