Jeanette Vizguerra, a prominent immigration advocate, has been detained by ICE and is set for deportation, marking a notable shift in the Trump administration’s approach to immigration activism. Her arrest has sparked outrage among human rights groups, with many arguing that it aims to stifle dissent against current immigration policies. Despite her low-level criminal history, advocates stress her significant contributions to the community of Colorado, where she's lived for three decades, highlighting that her detention may be politically motivated rather than justice-driven.
"Immigration advocates, lawmakers and human rights groups have decried the move, pointing to the mother of four's deep ties to the Colorado community where she has lived for 30 years."
"Supporters say Vizguerra's detention is aimed at silencing dissent. It comes amid a wider deportation push by the Trump administration, which has rolled back enforcement protections."
