JT has been deported to Mexico, arrested at the POE, escorted to the capital of Baja California, and then transferred to Mexico City.
The only part of this story that remains in question is the release date of Javier Torres Felix, aka "El JT". As reported rumors of his release indicated he was released in March. Then Siskiyou Kid of Borderland Beat forum found this information indicating he was released on this past Monday April 8th.
According to the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) website:
1. JAVIER TORRES-FELIX 28848-016 44-White-M 04-08-2013 RELEASED
1. JAVIER TORRES-FELIX 28848-016 44-White-M 04-08-2013 RELEASED
Today, Thursday April 11th he was deported to Mexico, where he was received midway of the international bridge by the Baja California State Preventive Police with the backup of intense mobilization.
After receiving the deported man, he was taken to the SPP command post and placed under arrest. He was then transferred to the state capital (Mexicali) and held at the military second command post, where he was heavily guarded.
From the military second command post, this morning, Interpol and the Ministerial Federal Police received the prisoner and completed the transfer to Mexico City (DF) to the Federal Attorney Generals offices for processing. The criminal charges he is facing is from the alleged killing of a military personnel, and organized crime activity. This is the initial step in the arrest process and is considered a detainment until and when he is formally charged.
Detainments can mean a long term holding of a suspect, as the government can file for extensions as they formulate their case. On the other hand a suspect being detained does not necessarily mean he will be charged, he can be released.
JT’s brother is the deceased [José] Manuel Torres Félix aka “M1”. It was after JT’s arrest that M1 elevated in the Sinaloa ranks, working with El Chapo Guzmán’s son Ovidio, he eventually became a high ranking leader. M1 was killed on October 13, 2012 in a shootout with the military in the Culiacán, Sinaloa colonia Oso Viejo.
JT was arrested in Mexico in 2004 and deported to the United States in 2006.

You will see on Mexican publications that he was released in March, however they are crediting Historias and Mundo for the information including US prison information, which was actually taken from my post of Sunday April 7th where I addressed the rumors in Mexico that he was released in March.
