An illegal alien living in Maryland charged with distribution and possession of child pornography is being held on $100,000 bond, and according to information revealed during his bond-review hearing in circuit court on Wednesday he told a district court commissioner to “just deport me“:
Cristian Alexander Magana, 19, of Beachley Drive, Hagerstown, is charged with six counts of promoting or distributing child pornography and 15 counts of possession of child pornography, court records said.
District Judge Terry Myers kept his bond at $100,000 at 10 percent, meaning he can post bail with $10,000.
“The defendant is an illegal alien from El Salvador,” Assistant State’s Attorney Arthur Rozes told the judge.
He said Magana was able to repeat — in English — “Just deport me” when he was arraigned before the commissioner.
Rozes asked that Magana be held on a fully secured $100,000 bond, “pending action by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement).”
Assistant Public Defender Sean Mukherjee asked that “an extremely reasonable bond” be set for Magana, as he lives with an aunt who depends on his financial support. Mukherjee also despicably compared Magana’s actions to illegally downloading music.
