Immigration Advocate Detained by ICE in Colorado
Jeanette Vizguerra, a prominent Colorado immigration advocate and mother of four, was arrested by ICE agents on Monday and is currently detained in Aurora, Colorado. Vizguerra, a Mexican immigrant with a past conviction for attempted possession of a forged instrument, has a final order of deportation. Her arrest has sparked outrage from community leaders and advocates, who argue her detention is politically motivated and unjust given her decades-long community involvement and lack of violent history. Legal challenges are underway to secure her release.
