They were likely to be returned to the United States on Wednesday.

Pregnant elephant seal stops traffic
The elephant seal is an adult female, weighing up to 1000 pounds, according to marine life experts. The mammal center and the San Pablo Bay National Marine Sanctuary dispatched rescue teams.
She looked away from cameras as she was taken to an unmarked vehicle and driven away. Mexican authorities said they had been working with the U.S. Marshals Service since December 24 to locate them.
Gloria Allred clients prepared to testify against Bill Cosby in criminal case
A former Temple University employee told police the comedian drugged and violated her at his home near Philadelphia in 2004. It’s the first time Cosby has faced charges despite years of similar accusations by women and many of his fans are alarmed.
DALLAS (AP) – Authorities say a Texas teenager serving probation for killing four people in a drunken-driving wreck after invoking an “affluenza” defense has been detained in Mexico. Both were detained Monday.
‘Star Wars’ blasts opening weekend record with 8 million
Greenfield said the success of ” Force Awakens ” would not be enough to offset the impact of subscriber losses at ESPN. The eighth and final Harry Potter movie was the previous record holder – it made .5 million in July 2011.
“After their detention, they were handed over to Mexican immigration authorities for deportation, the statement said”.
The official was not authorized to speak about the case and agreed to reveal the information only if not quoted by name.
Associated Press writer E. Eduardo Castillo reported this story in Mexico City and AP writer Michael Graczyk reported from Houston. Such cases can often take up to several months, depending on the priorities of the local courts, he said.
Hunter says Couch’s mother, Tonya, also won’t be deported Wednesday as originally planned.
The Couches were detained Monday.
A federal judge has three days to rule on whether Couch’s appeal is well-founded.
The “affluenza” term was apparently used for the first time explicitly in defense during Couch’s trial, but has been a theory in sociological and psychological circles since the late 1990s to explain the impact of indulgent parenting, said Daniel Medwed, a criminal law professor at Northeastern University in Boston.
An official with Mexico’s Migration Institute told The Associated Press that 18-year-old Ethan Couch won the delay through a court injunction.
In Puerto Vallarta, eyewitness Cristina Barraza said she saw Tonya Couch’s arrest.
Couch and his mother were scheduled to be sent back to the US on Wednesday. They were being held at immigration offices in Guadalajara.
Couch’s attorneys did not immediately return calls for comment. According to the police report, one of the Couches’ telephones had been used to order delivery from Domino’s Pizza to the condominium complex in Puerto Vallarta’s old town, far from the glitzy resorts of the city’s newer section. By the time police showed up on December 28, the mother and son were gone.
This is a busy part of Puerto Vallarta, a city about the size of Grand Prairie, and not a place you would expect to find a fugitive from justice who’s trying to lie low.
Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson had earlier told NBC News that he was “not surprised at all” that Couch ran, saying he believed Couch hadn’t learned anything since his fatal 2013 crash, which killed four people and paralyzed another.
Authorities say the mother and son were staying at a beach front condo when they were caught, likely blending in with tourists there for the holidays.
Couch, then 16, was speeding and had a blood-alcohol level of almost three times the legal limit when he lost control of his pickup truck and fatally struck a stranded motorist on the side of the road and three people who had stopped to help.
Authorities began searching for him and his mother after he missed a mandatory appointment with his probation officer on December 10.

A hearing in mid-January will determine whether Couch will remain in the juvenile system or be transferred to adult probation.
