ICE Lodges Detainers on Four Convicted Mexican Nationals Held in Illinois Prisons
The Department of Homeland Security said Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged immigration detainers on October 14 with the Illinois Department of Corrections for four Mexican nationals serving prison sentences in Illinois, all of them convicted offenders.
According to DHS, the four are: Juan Garcia-Martinez, 42, convicted in Cook County of first-degree murder and sentenced to 35 years at Stateville Correctional Center; Isaias Galindo-Martinez, 48, convicted in Cook County of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and sentenced to 45 years at Stateville; Luis Garcia-Gomez, 28, convicted in Lake County of aggravated criminal sexual assault and other offenses and sentenced to 15 years at Stateville; and Miguel Mendez-Garcia, 30, convicted in Kane County of aggravated domestic battery by strangulation and sentenced to six years at Sheridan Correctional Center.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement on the detainers, which ask the state corrections department to notify ICE and transfer the men when their sentences end.
