Guillermo "Memo" Gallardo Barrera has spent over a year in ICE custody following a routine Gilbert traffic stop—and his family fears that without proper medical care or release, he won't make it out of the Florence Correctional Center alive.⁣

Prior to his detention, Barrera was healthy. Now, he relies on a cane to walk, deals with severe numbness and pain, and says facility officials have failed to provide a diagnosis or adequate treatment.⁣
