Micky Louis Mayon, KKK Member, To Be Escorted Back To US

Two U.S. marshals are being sent to escort an alleged KKK fugitive wanted by the FBI who has been arrested in Israel back to the U.S., reports CNN.

Micky Louis Mayon, 33, had been featured on America's 100 Most Wanted Criminal Lists, but had been arrested in Israel on suspicion of overstaying his tourist visa, the Jerusalem Post reports.

The Israeli authorities acted on information supplied by Interpol, who informed them that Mayon had entered the country illegally, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Mayon is wanted in the U.S. on a number of charges, including racist assaults and firearms-related offenses.

BBC News quotes a statement from U.S. Marshal Michael R Regan, saying, "Locating and identifying Mayon in a foreign country sends a strong message that you can run, but you cannot hide."

Another Republican returns home.

What was he doing in Israel? He must have been up to no good.

[JScott]

Of all places seems like that's the last place he'd want to go to.

But then again, that would be the place the authorities would least likely search, and apparently that was wrong.

Noooooo! Can't they keeep him?

[MyGoodMojo]

Why would he choose Israel? Am I the only one who finds that more than just a little strange? I've heard of hiding in plain sight but this is a whole new level of chutzpa. I've also heard of Russian skinheads emigrating there and being arrested for violent attacks, but a high ranking KKKlansmen? Me thinks there is waaaaaaaay more to this then meets the eye. Maybe a sleeper cell or at the very least an clandestine organization with nefarious intentions based in the heart of their most hated enemy. This whole thing has the faint stink of the religion about it.

I'm with you on this...he was up to something and it wasn't good.

[LetMeUnderstandThis]

I agree with on this but you have to admit it is funny in certain way.

Really!

Why wasn't he just sent to the gallows - like Eichmann.
