A Mexican man who has been tried already here in the United States will be moved to Mexico where he will serve the remained of his US sentence AS WELL AS any addition sentencing by Mexican authorities than has not yet been made.
I would want to talk to the defendant, Granados, to see how he feels about being moved to his country of origin. I would also want to speak with the individual who proposed this new policy as practice in the United Sates/Mexico Extradition Treaty and figure out what purpose it has, how it helps or harms, why it came about.

Rachel,
I think this story is interesting because it seems like one of those cases that deals with more than the crime at hand. The way that the authorities deal with Granados will be interesting to see since it will reflect on the U.S.'s immigration policies. I think it would also be interesting to interview a border official or a politician about this case since it is linked to immigration politics.
Definitely looks like something that you could write about. Good choice of interviewees as well, though you've got a very short list to choose from!
This is a loaded topic..suicide bombers, mini-buses, Russia...everything an American audience would want to read about...I guess. Nice summary though...I feel badly for the journalist that had to cover such a mess of a story, though!
This story deals with some intense issues, and if you could get the interviews your talking about, it would be really hardcore. You could really get your hands dirty with this one, nice pick.
