An immigration hearing for alleged terrorist and former CIA agent, Luis Posada Carriles, began today in El Paso. Although the US has not prosecuted Carriles for his involvement in the mid-air bombing of a Cuban commercial plane in 1976 that killed 73 people and hotel bombings in Havana, the immigration hearing will decide his migratory status. Meanwhile protestors want Carriles extradited to his country of origin, Venezuela.  Dolores M. Bernal has more from El Paso, Texas.
