   GREAT GREAT GREAT NEWS

   ACLU of Southern California says [pdf] that Pedro Guzman, the 29-year-old developmentally disabled American citizen mistakenly deported to Mexico in May, has been found. Best wishes to Guzman and his family this happy occasion.

       Hi o!  I’m so relieved, especially for his mother who roamed the streets of Tijuana for weeks, searching for him.

     At Yearly Kos I had a good conversation with the ACLU’s regional director for So. California.  She’s a very cool lady, but I’ve forgotten her name.

     While I’m glad he’s home, the situation he endured is utterly infuriating

     A wrongly deported U.S. citizen who was missing nearly three months in Mexico ate out of garbage cans, bathed in rivers and was repeatedly turned away by U.S. border agents when he tried to return to California, his family said Tuesday.

     Pedro Guzman, 29, was picked up at the Calexico border crossing over the weekend and released to his family on Tuesday.

     Guzman was shaking, stuttering and appeared traumatized, his family said at a news conference. The family said it planned to seek medical attention for Guzman, who was not at the news conference. – linkage
