PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Two foreign-born suspects in the alleged kidnapping plot that targeted Columbia Sportswear Chairwoman Gert Boyle were in the United States legally at the time of their arrest.
The Oregonian reported that federal immigration officials have lifted holds on the two men, but no details were given.
A third suspect in the case remains on immigration hold.
None of the three men appears to have a criminal record. If convicted of crimes, the two men cleared of immigration holds could become eligible for deportation.
All three remain in the Clackamas County Jail, charged with kidnapping, criminal conspiracy, burglary and robbery.
