You have two days.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you for using San Antonio Airport.
Badge 14, you available to do a pickup on the corner of Trent and Highway? What do you got? A private jet from here in Amman.
It was forced to land at Quetzalcóatl International in Mexico due to bad weather.
- Did you get that? - Yeah, I heard.
Amman, Jordan to Quetzalcóatl, Mexico.
He must have crossed over from there.
It's five miles from the airport.
What is? The US border.
We've got the tail number.
The plane belongs to a charter company.
They won't reveal their client list, so it's going to take a little more time.
- Let me know what you find.
- Okay.
Can you please pull over? Officer Geller, they told me you were comin'.
Will Mathers, Joint Terrorism Task Force.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Sure got down here fast.
I need to speak to the detainee.
Yeah, I heard.
Not gonna happen, I'm sorry.
Actually, it is going to happen.
He crossed the border after landing in Mexico on a private plane from Jordan.
Well, that doesn't matter much now.
The scope of this goes well beyond domestic.
This is foreign intelligence.
My jurisdiction.
The boys over in the counter-terrorism division might beg to differ.
I've been covering this guy from the beginning.
The longer you stand in my way, the worse things are gonna get.
Well, I'm not standing in your way.
His ACLU lawyer is.
Your boy's been busy.
When are they transporting him to the detention center? Tomorrow mornin'.
Holy shit.
Shit Hey.
Yeah, but so far it's just a couple of personal posts.
What? Hold on.
Ma'am, it's the chief of staff, on one.
Put him through.
More dramatic footage out of Texas today showing the tornado that ripped through the border town of Dilley.
This viral video appears to show the Miracle Man from Friday's incident at Temple Mount in Jerusalem seemingly standing in the path of the tornado.
His appearance in Texas has sparked rumors of another miracle as this devastated town's only surviving structure is its church.

These old things, they can become a nuisance.
Maybe I should take the hint, right? You're not old, but you are a nuisance.
Well, I'm the only nuisance you got.
Dad, I was joking.
No, I know, I'm just I'm tougher than that.
