    S.F. suspect in slayings of 5 dodged deportation in 2006

    S.F. suspect in slayings of 5 dodged deportation in 2006

    By Michael Winter, USA TODAY Updated 9m ago

    The suspect in the brutal slayings of five people in San Francisco was ordered deported to his native Vietnam in 2006 while in prison for robbery, but the undocumented immigrant remained in California because the Vietnamese government would not take him, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Binh Thai Luc, 35, of San Francisco, was arrested Sunday, two days after the bodies of three women and two men were found in a home near City College of San Francisco. Police say the victims, four of whom were related, were savagely beaten and stabbed.

    A source told the Chronicle that authorities suspect the killings were committed over a gambling debt.

    Police originally believed the killings may have been murder-suicide.

    Luc's 32-year-old brother was arrested on unrelated weapons and narcotics charges.

    Today the medical examiner released the identifies of the dead. The women were Wan Yi Wu, 62, Ying Xue Lei, 37, and Chia Huei Chu, 30. The men were Hua Shun Lei, 65, and Vincent Lei, 32. The house was owned by Ying Xue Lei, a software engineer.

    Luc was sentenced to 11 years for a 1998 armed robbery of a restaurant in San Jose, home to the second-largest population of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam. In 2006, immigration officials prepared to deport Luc after his release from San Quentin Prison, but because Vietnamese officials would not issue travel documents, he was freed.

    Immigration and Custom Enforcement officials told the Chronicle that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled undocumented immigrants must be released after six months if their home country won't take them back.

    He's in jail now.
    He was in prison, served his time, then release because his home country refused to take him back.
    the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled undocumented immigrants must be released after six months if their home country won't take them back.
    Last week he killed 5 people. Now he has been arrested for the murders and is in jail.

    Slayings of 5 in S.F. cited to back immigrant detention bill

    The suspect is from Vietnam and has a record. A House bill would let the government hold 'as long as necessary' immigrants deemed to be criminals who can't be deported to their native countries.

    Binh Thai Luc, 35, is being held on suspicion of murder in the deaths of five people in a San Francisco home. (San Francisco Police Department)

    Lawmakers are using revelations about the suspect in the slaying of five San Francisco residents to push legislation that would allow lengthier detention of criminal immigrants who cannot be repatriated.

    Binh Thai Luc, 35, of San Francisco was arrested Sunday in connection with the slayings of five people in a home in the Ingleside neighborhood. He had been taken into custody in August 2006 after serving time for assault and attempted robbery but had to be released six months later after Vietnamese authorities declined to provide appropriate travel documents for his deportation, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    Supreme Court rulings hold that continued detention of an immigrant becomes unlawful after 180 days, when "no significant likelihood of removal exists in the reasonably foreseeable future."

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) released a statement Tuesday morning calling attention to a bill he introduced in May that aims to allow the Department of Homeland Security to detain "as long as necessary" immigrants deemed to be criminals who cannot be deported to their native countries.

    The proposed law allows for a review of an immigrant's detention every six months. Officials said Luc, a convicted felon, probably would have remained in custody under the proposal.

    "Just because a criminal immigrant cannot be returned to their home country does not mean they should be freed into our communities," Smith said in a statement tailored to the Luc case. "Dangerous criminal immigrants need to be detained."

    A Judiciary Committee aide said the bill was approved by the panel in July and now awaits floor consideration.

    The legislation has ignited opposition from civil rights groups. Ahilan Arulanantham, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, testified against the bill in May, and Tuesday he called the law's provisions "deeply misguided."

    "We don't indefinitely detain people after their sentences are finished in the name of public safety," he said. "That violates our most basic constitutional principles."

    Smith's bill follows a Florida law that allows judges to deny bail to violent criminals who commit a felony while on probation. The Officer Andrew Widman Act, signed into law in May, was named for a police officer killed by a Cuban immigrant who was on supervised probation and also was ineligible for deportation.
