Arizona Judge Orders Deportation of Immigrant and Reproductive Rights Activist

HeadlineDec 12, 2018

In more immigration news, an Arizona judge has issued a deportation order for well-known immigrant rights and reproductive justice leader Alejandra Pablos. Earlier this year, Pablos was detained by ICE for more than 40 days after reporting to a routine check-in. Many believe she was targeted for her activism. She appeared on Democracy Now! in April.

Alejandra Pablos: “Trump has his own personal police force, which is ICE. They’re enacting all his white supremacist agenda. People—all our community right now are being deported, especially working people and, like you said, activists. And I was simply detained because of an arrest at a peaceful protest in Virginia. I haven’t even been convicted.”

Alejandra Pablos has vowed to appeal the decision.
