CENTENNIAL, Colo. – A Mexican woman trying to avoid deportation took refuge in a Denver church Wednesday after U.S. immigration authorities denied her request to remain in the country, the latest case to rattle the immigrant community as the White House promises to boost enforcement.

Jeanette Vizguerra skipped her scheduled check-in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in the suburb of Centennial. About 100 supporters demonstrated outside the building as her attorney, Hans Meyer, and a minister went inside.

They said they were met by a lobby full of agents, a few of them armed, and were told Vizguerra would not get another extension as she tries to obtain a U visa, sometimes given to crime victims.

ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer said Vizguerra was an "enforcement priority" because she had two misdemeanor convictions and a judge originally issued final deportation orders for her in 2011.
Meyer said Vizguerra had been granted several previous extensions under the Obama administration because officials realize it can take two or three years to obtain the visa.

"This is a big, huge red flare that the Trump administration has plans to deport as many people as possible," said Meyer, who declined to disclose details of the crime to which Vizguerra was a victim.

Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration a priority, declaring plans to build a border wall, threatening to cut funding to cities that don't cooperate with federal immigration authorities and issuing an executive order making it clear that just about any immigrant in the country illegally could be a priority for deportation, particularly those with outstanding deportation orders.

ICE's Neudauer would not say whether denying Vizguerra's request for an extension was a change in policy.

Vizguerra took refuge in the church, a common tactic to avoid deportation because authorities generally don't enter places of worship, as immigrant advocates called for the release of 23-year-old in Washington state who was detained despite participating in a federal program to protect those brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

She said she was thinking of Daniel Ramirez Medina as well as Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, an Arizona woman arrested during a routine ICE check-in and deported to Mexico the next day, before taking sanctuary.
Vizguerra, crying at first, spoke in Spanish by phone through a bullhorn to supporters outside the ICE building and later in person at the First Unitarian Church not far from the state Capitol.

With three of her four children joining her on the altar, the former union organizer and house cleaner said her only crimes were related to working in the country illegally to support her family.

She said she was arrested for not having a driver's license or current vehicle registration. Officers also discovered that she had a forged identity document, which she said had a Social Security number made up of digits from her birth date, not one that belonged to an actual person.

Vizguerra said she told her children last week of her decision to stay in a basement room of the church that they had painted in 2014 in preparation for any immigrant who might need to seek sanctuary.
"You can see the reasons behind me why I am fighting so hard to win my case," she said of her family.

Send ICE over to pick her and her children up. She is the guardian and custodian of her MINOR children, not USA.

Hand her over to the President of Mexico. She is HIS responsibility, not the USA or it's taxpayers OR our Churches!

Illegal alien taunts ICE from church refuge

By Ed Straker


ICE, if you're reading this, I know the precise location of an illegal alien who has an outstanding deportation order against her. Her name is Jeanette Vizguerra, and she is hiding at the First Unitarian Church at 1400 N. Lafayette St., Denver, Colorado.

I know this because Vizguerra's location is not exactly a closely guarded secret; she has spread it across national media to generate sympathy, in the process very publicly thumbing her nose at American law.

"It will not end today," Jeanette Vizguerra proudly said to the applause of her supporters. She spoke in her native tongue of Spanish to explain why she is fighting to remain in the U.S., despite efforts to deport her.

Very good! Why should she speak English rather than her "native" tongue while demanding to stay in the U.S.?

Vizguerra confidently spoke on Wednesday with her family surrounding her, saying she is challenging the federal government to live up to "American ideals." She has four children – three of whom are U.S. citizens, and an adult child who is legal to work under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

On Wednesday, a stay of deportation for Vizguerra was denied as she continued her quest in Centennial to keep her family whole. Vizguerra's lawyer advised her not to appear in person to the hearing, which was the sixth such hearing on her behalf.

Her lawyer told her to disregard the law? Do you think he attended an undocumented law school?

"I absolutely believe ICE would have arrested her this morning. It appears they had absolutely no intention of engaging in good faith," [her lawyer] Meyer said of documents that were signed when he appeared in the courthouse.

Good faith? About not enforcing immigration law?

She has been convicted of two misdemeanors during her time in the U.S. She served a 23-day sentence after her conviction. And in May 2013, she was convicted of illegal entry after going back to Mexico for her mother's funeral and returning to the United States.

Vizguerra has seen judges award her five successful stays of deportation before the sixth was denied on Wednesday, and Meyer directly attributed that to President Donald Trump.

Vizguerra added that she is more virtuous than President Trump because unlike him, she has been paying taxes – so she claims.

Questions for discussion:

1) Will churches offer sanctuary to anyone who disagrees with a law? A man, for example, who wants to own a machine gun or a woman who simply doesn't want to pay her taxes?

2) Will the Unitarians in this church pray for the people whose tax dollars go to educate and support Ms. Vizguerra and her children? Will they also pray for the American who did not get a job that Ms. Vizguerra now holds?

3) If the Unitarians at this church feel that people have the right to be wherever they want to be, do you think they would agree that 200 Syrian refugees have the right to take over their church and turn it into a mosque?

Right...but more Churches are politically correct right now...
even in refugees, illegals, LGBT etc...what's the Church right now..? )
Sorry, if I hit someone's feelings....this is an general question..And right we are not in the Church webside.

Go in there and drag that biotch out.

"She has been convicted of two misdemeanors during her time in the U.S. She served a 23-day sentence after her conviction. And in May 2013, she was convicted of illegal entry after going back to Mexico for her mother's funeral and returning to the United States."

--------------------------------------


They come here "for fear of their lives"...but then they manage to go back and forth over the border for Holidays and Funerals.

Throw this lying Criminal Trespasser out along with her children. Nothing but another "economic migrant" thinking she can break the Laws and stay in our Country.

How about an investigation if she has received welfare, food stamps, WIC, TANF, tax refunds or any other government benefits.

No illegal alien should be able to receive ANY government benefits on behalf of a US citizen...minor or otherwise.

DO NOT REWARD WITH FREEBIES...DEPORT.

Geez, how many times have we been down this road over the last decade or so? It's way past time to rethink the old policy of hand-off where churches and hospitals are concerned. Secretary Kelly, it's time to show them there's a new sheriff in town! Direct ICE to remove her post-haste. If you need some backup, give our new Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, a call. To my knowledge there is no formal law that protects illegals claiming sanctuary in a church.

Everyone send in the tip to ICE to pick her up:

THE CHURCHES ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW...HAND HER OVER AND STOP AIDING AND ABETTING CRIMINALS!


You can fill out the form anonymously, just copy and paste her history of crime that is mentioned in the article...

"She has been convicted of two misdemeanors during her time in the U.S. She served a 23-day sentence after her conviction. And in May 2013, she was convicted of illegal entry after going back to Mexico for her mother's funeral and returning to the United States.

Vizguerra has seen judges award her five successful stays of deportation before the sixth was denied on Wednesday"

Wonder who paid for the birth and the medical care for her children? Guess who paid for their schooling? Guess who paid for the free lunches, sports uniforms, band instruments etc that her kids wanted? Betcha it was the American(USA) taxpayer. How is she supporting herself now since she's hiding out in a church? Questions! Questions!

They come here with their hands out, use faux documents in order to work and survive and she thinks she's virtuous and also a victim! She's a criminal, taker and a thief!

By the way Jeanette Vizguerra your kids that were born here are dual citizens so take them all home with you. Virtuous people don't split apart families and sneak into foreign countries!
