   It seens racist and bigoted for KDVR to act like sending this Mexican   
   woman back to Mexico is a fate worse than death.  Why doesn't the   
   Mexican consulate in Denver protest the depiction of Mexico as a living   
   Hell? Have they no pride in their country?

   DENVER (KDVR) — Community members gathered outside the Aurora   
   Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility after a   
   well-known illegal immigration activist was reportedly taken into custody.   
      
   According to the American Friends Services Committee, a nonprofit that   
   supports illegal immigrant rights (sic), Jeanette Vizguerra was taken   
   into custody by ICE on Monday.   
      
   The AFSC said “ICE acted without a valid deportation order and without   
   notifying Ms. Vizguerra or her lawyers” when she was taken into custody   
   Monday. The rights group said in a Tuesday press release that it appears   
   ICE is “readying to possibly deport her even though the agency knows   
   they don’t have a valid deportation order.”   
      
   Colorado DA says ICE raids could impact success of some criminal court cases   
   The American Friends Services Committee released the following statement   
   from Vizguerra’s children, “We do not understand – why she is detained?   
   It makes no sense when nothing has changed in her case. We are asking   
   Immigration and Customs Enforcement to please review what her lawyer   
   sent, allow her phone calls with us and to immediately release her.”   
      
   FOX31’s Nicole Fierro is at the detention center where she learned   
   protestors gathered at 10:30 p.m. on Monday to show support for Vizguerra.   
      
   Later Monday morning, the American Friends Services Committee provided   
   updates and said Vizguerra’s legal team began filing a habeas with the   
   district court to challenge “her unlawful detention by ICE.”   
      
   FOX31 has reached out to ICE for additional information about   
   Vizguerra’s reported detainment and is waiting to hear back.   
      
   Vizguerra sought sanctuary in Denver church   
      
   Vizguerra snuck into the United States from Mexico in 1997 with her   
   husband and eldest daughter. According to the American Friends Services   
   Committee, she has been fighting her own deportation since 2009. In   
   2017, Vizguerra, a mother to three American-born children, took   
   sanctuary in a Denver church as she faced deportation.   
      
      
   During her time in the U.S., she has become an activist for illegal   
   immigration rights. In 2017, Vizguerra was named one of the 100 most   
   influential people in the world by Time magazine.   
      
   [Time magazine at one time was a highly respected magazine read by   
   highly educated, upwardly mobile people.  It shows how far they have   
   fallen when they pick an illegal alien Mexican who hates our laws and   
   borders as some kind of great influencer.]   
      
   Lawmakers speak out about detainment   
      
   U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet posted on social media about Vizguerra’s   
   detainment and said, “Jeanette Vizguerra is a mother and pillar in her   
   community. I am deeply concerned about ICE’s actions to detain her   
   without any due process, like a deportation order. ICE should ensure   
   Jeanette has legal counsel and immediately release her.”   
      
   Fellow U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper also posted on social media and said,   
   “There are serious concerns about ICE’s actions to detain Jeanette   
   Vizguerra. Targeting a mother who has been an active part of our (sic)   
   Colorado community for nearly three decades will not fix our broken   
   immigration system or secure our border.”   
      
   Denver Mayor Mike Johnston also issued a statement on Vizguerra’s arrest.   
      
   Let’s be clear what happened today. This is not immigration enforcement   
   intended to keep our country safe. This is Putin-style persecution of   
   political dissidents. Jeanette Vizguerra is a mother of U.S. citizens.   
   She works at Target. She’s the founder of a local (open borders) non-profit.
