Biography
Julie Mungai was one of the Los Angeles Eight, detained in U.S. maximum-security prisons for several weeks in 1987 during deportation proceedings involving alleged political association and immigration-status charges. The Ninth Circuit individually names Julie Nuangugi Mungai and confirms actual detention and subsequent release. The allegations are not treated as criminal convictions. The January 26 arrest is independently dated; prison admission is recorded only to January 1987 and actual release only to 1987. Exact discharge day and total days are unverified; a February 18 release order in another account is not substituted for physical release.
