Jeanette Vizguerra’s detention mock the important work of ICE

Jeanette Vizguerra is not a criminal reinforced – she said guilty for a crime in 2009 and served 21 days in prison for her crime.

Vizguerra is not a threat to safety – leads a non -local profit, works at the target and raised four children, three who are US citizens.

Vizguerra is not a drainage of society – there is no indication that Vizguerra has ever been on any kind of well -being.

Then why was the 53 -year -old grandmother detained by federal officials outside a colorado target This week and was he stirred in a chain and handcuffs? And why do local Republicans snatch their good name as if they were a member of the freshly arrested band to mark a weapon?

We don’t have to guess.

President Donald Trump is in a mission to eradicate immigrants from the United States who came here illegally – All 10 million to 15 million of them – no matter what contributes to our communities. Ever since he first launched an offer for the president in 2015, Trump has intentionally painted all illegal immigrants as dangerous criminals. He sees no difference between a mother who works hard to support four children and a member of Aragua train engaged in organized criminal activity.

The mission declared by the immigration and the customs application has not changed, according to its website: “To protect America through criminal investigations and the application of immigration laws to maintain national security and public safety.”

According to Denver’s application and removal operations, their goal is still “protecting the homeland by arresting and eliminating non -demands that undermine the safety of our communities.”

Vizguerra is not a threat to national security or public safety. It should not be deported and we request the immediate release from the Ice Detention Unit in Aurora.

Vizguerra has Repeatedly, they were granted sites of deportation so he can stay in America with his family.

Her arrest this week It only makes a mockery of heavy, dangerous and serious work officials, every week, to keep Americans of violent criminals who have entered the country illegally. Federal employees from ICE did not register for jobs to terrorize communities and steal grandparents in their families, without even goodbye.

We have questions about the legal status of Vizuguerra. Her family says she was working at Target but Written by Habeas Corpus her lawyers submitted on her behalf Admits that Vizguerra has no legal status in the US, these two things are incompatible in accordance with current legislation.

Document -free workers in America are facing this crushing of the obligation towards daily legality. For decades, leaders – both Republicans and Democrats – refused to offer a way to legal work or legal status, but also failed to provide the border of new illegal crossings.

Now it’s too late. In the next four years, Trump will deport as many illegal immigrants as possible, ignoring decades of wisdom from past leaders who said that dividing families and chasing people from good jobs in hiding where they often go to crime to end is not good for communities.

Since 2011, Vizguerra has fought with a deportation order that resulted from her 2009 arrest in Arapahoe County for a false social security book found in her bag by deputies who have fired it for a traffic violation. She has successfully attacked the order, but repeatedly received deportation stays, in essence, the legal permission to stay in America, despite her deportation orders.

In 2017, shortly after President Donald Trump took over for the first time, his request for renewing his deportation stay was refused, and she housed in the church of Unity in Denver, who claimed Sanctuary from removal.

Her story has earned national attention and I supported her efforts to stay with her young children And he wrote an editorial that requested the immigration reform that would provide the border and also offer millions of people living in the shadow, for fear of deportation, a way to legal status and legal employment. I wrote: “Presented with the facts known at hand, we wonder what would be the point to deport Vizuguerra? What would the United States win from such a cruel, though legal action?

Trump has never been able to articulate a single answer to these questions, because the answer is, of course, that there is no point in deporting Vizuguerra, there is nothing for the US to get from this cruelty, and the evil exceeds only her family.

The best case we can do against Vizguerra, it allowed to stay in the United States is the simple fact that a judge ordered her removal and disobeded her before giving the first deportation and then again in 2017, when he claimed Sanctuary. As a society, we cannot ignore the judicial orders – the price we pay for it, of course, is the anger of the judge, because he makes sentences for the contempt of the court.
