Expelled from Guatemala

Release from Jail0 Comments

McAfee is escorted by immigration officials and police trucks to the Guatemala City airport, where he is put on a commercial flight bound for Miami. McAfee is escorted to the airport, accompanied by many journalists and two police trucks. He sits in coach class on the flight.

It was the most gracious expulsion I’ve ever experienced. Compared to my past two wives that expelled me this isn’t a terrible trip.

Immigration service spokesman:

McAfee entered the country illegally. Guatemala is expelling him. Since his country of origin is the United States, Guatemala is expelling him to the United States.
