Thirty-six-year-old Juan Barrera escaped from a Panamanian prison in early 2008.
Barrera was arrested by federal authorities in Washington, D.C., this past January and, according to the paper, told authorities he used the fake Social Security card to obtain a driver's license and secure his subsidized apartment.
The FBI began an around-the-clock investigation of him after an anonymous caller claimed Barrera was planning to fire a rocket launcher at a Metro train.
Authorities said in court documents that authorities concluded that Barrera did not own a rocket launcher and was not planning to attack a Metro train, according to the paper.

To such a sudden flood of mutiny. 1755
They that have done this deed are honourable:
What private griefs they have, alas, I know not,
That made them do it: they are wise and honourable,
And will, no doubt, with reasons answer you.
I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts: 1760
I am no orator, as Brutus is;
But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man,
That love my friend; and that they know full well
That gave me public leave to speak of him:
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, 1765
Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech,
To stir men's blood: I only speak right on;
I tell you that which you yourselves do know;
Show you sweet Caesar's wounds, poor poor dumb mouths,
And bid them speak for me: but were I Brutus, 1770
And Brutus Antony, there were an Antony
Would ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue
In every wound of Caesar that should move
The stones of Rome to rise and mutiny.
These people will never make enough to buy a ticket home and even if they do, they do not have their passports. They live crammed in portables with tons of others, in highly unsanitary conditions. The kicker: they are building hotels that cost more to stay in for one night than they will make in an entire year. Things are so bad that a number of laborers are willing to throw themselves in front of cars because their death would bring their family affluence in the form of diya, blood money paid to the victim’s family as mandated by the government.
