Immigration Activist Jeanette Vizguerra Detained by ICE, Sparking Outrage and Protests
Jeanette Vizguerra, a prominent immigrant rights activist and undocumented mother of four, has been detained by ICE in Colorado, leading to widespread protests from supporters. Vizguerra, who gained national attention for seeking sanctuary in a church to avoid deportation, was arrested without warning, prompting calls for her immediate release. Her detention has reignited debates over the enforcement actions taken under the Trump administration, drawing criticism from local politicians and advocacy groups. Lawyers have filed emergency petitions to prevent her deportation, arguing that her situation calls into question ICE’s motivations and practices. As protests erupt outside the ICE facility in Aurora, many are rallying to demand justice for Vizguerra and her family.
