A Colorado immigration activist who previously took sanctuary in Denver churches to avoid deportation has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to the American Friends Service Committee.⁠ ⁠ Jeanette Vizguerra was detained by ICE agents Monday without a valid deportation order and placed at the agency’s detention facility in Aurora, which is run by private contractor GEO Group, according to a news release from the committee.⁠ ⁠ The social justice group said in the news release that Vizguerra’s attorneys “have raised serious legal errors and concern her due process rights are being violated.”⁠ ⁠ A group of about 20 people gathered outside the ICE facility to protest Vizguerra’s detainment, holding up yellow signs that read “Free Jeanette.”⁠ ⁠ Read the full story at the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ 📝: Lauren Penington and Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton, The Denver Post // laurenpeningtonreports⁠ 📷: Hyoung Chang and RJ Sangosti, The Denver Post // hyoung_ccc ⁠rjsangosti ⁠...
