New Jersey, U.S.A. insurance agent Dean De Marks, 50, was deported Friday morning to Houston, Texas by order of Immigration and National Security Minister Hon. Carlos Perdomo.
De Marks, who had been planning to build condominiums at Seine Bight Village, had his home searched by police on February 26. The discovery of 2 blocks of M112 C-4 explosive, a detonator, and a silver and black 9mm pistol caused police to arrest and charge him.
He was eventually bailed for $10,000, but the case took on national significance when it was learned that Seine Bight residents alleged, on morning talk-shows, that De Marks had threatened to blow up their tiny village.
De Marks had been scheduled to return to court on April 8, but Minister Perdomo said he was taking no chances with the possibility that De Marks might act on those alleged threats.
According to the Minister, US Marshals had been informed and were waiting for De Marks on his return to the United States.
