: Legal Pad | LAACLU demands release of two men in immigration detention
By Richard Binder
Petitions filed in Los Angeles and San Diego by civil rights groups contend that two mentally disabled men who have been held in immigration detention for nearly five years should be freed.
According to a statement from the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, both men were kept in legal limbo after they were deemed incompetent for deportation proceedings.
The Los Angeles petition involves Jose Antonio Franco-Gonzalez, a Mexican man who doesn't know his age or birthday, has trouble counting and cannot tell time. The San Diego petition involves Guillermo Gomez-Sanchez, another Mexican man diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Both men have criminal records.
Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the agency doesn't detain for "punitive reasons."
