Wrongfully Deported U.S. Citizen Found in Mexico

HeadlineAug 08, 2007

A mentally disabled U.S. citizen who was wrongly deported to Mexico in May has been found and is expected to be reunited soon with his family in California. In June, the American Civil Liberties Union sued government officials for deporting Pedro Guzman. The ACLU says Guzman was serving a four-month jail sentence for trespassing when he was deported to Tijuana on a supposed immigration charge. He was deported despite telling officers he was born in Los Angeles and lives in a nearby town with his mother. For the past three months members of his family searched shelters, jails and hospitals in Tijuana to track him down.
