Governor Eddie Baza Calvo signed the commutations for four men convicted of breaking Guam laws.
“When migrants come to this island it is expected that they follow the rules of law,” Governor Calvo stated. “When they fail to do that, when they break laws and hurt other Guamanians, then this government we must take action to ensure the safety of Guamanians.”
The Governor’s commutation is part of an intent to promote safety. The four men were identified by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as having convicted deportable crimes. Their victims were approached and gave their approval to have the convicted men deported.
The Governor has said that their return to their homeland provides them with an opportunity to turn over a new leaf and build a new life.

It costs Guam taxpayers about $119 a day, or more than $43,000 a year, to house each individual at the Department of Corrections. As the four men go through the deportation process, the federal government will take over the cost of their detention.
