Dear Senators,



I am William Nicholas Gomes, Human Rights Ambassador for Salem-News.com.



I am informed by Dream Activists that regarding the inhuman condition of Enrique Gonzalez.



I write to ask that you immediately release Enrique Gonzalez (A#097-135-389) from the Broward Transitional Center. According to John Morton and the Obama administration Enrique is a low-priority for removal and should not be in detention.



Enrique needs medical care, he is currently urinating blood. He can't sleep 2 or so night every other week due to extreme kidney pain. His 2-year old daughter has down-syndrome and needs him.



On June 15th Enrique was pulled over for allegedly driving on a private road when in fact he was leaving a construction site after a day of work. Enrique was not cited for that violation; instead he was arrested for driving without a license and sent to the county jail. After a month in jail, on July 17th, Enrique was transferred to the Broward Detention Center where he finds himself today.



Enrique and his family have been living in Florida since 2000. He has four children, 13, 5, and two 2-year old twins. His two year older daughter has down-syndrome, a heart condition and cannot receive food orally. While in jail Enrique has developed a kidney condition and is currently urinating blood. Enrique has asked for medical attention in detention; however he’s only been given Ibuprofen.



Enrique was the sole provider for his family and they need him at home. Each day he is detained, as tax-payers are spending $166. Instead of spending tax-payer dollars detaining Enrique I ask that you use the discretion as laid out by John Morton, the Director of ICE, and immediately release Enrique Gonzalez from detention.

I will continuously monitor your action for Enrique, looking forward to your immediate response.

Yours sincerely,

William Nicholas Gomes
