In Colorado, longtime immigrant rights activist Jeanette Vizguerra has been released from ICE jail after nearly 10 months of detention. Vizguerra reunited with her family on Monday following her release on bond. Vizguerra was arrested in March, ambushed by ICE agents during her work break, and later transferred to an immigration jail in Aurora run by the private prison company GEO Group. Jeanette Vizguerra gained national attention in 2017 when she took sanctuary at a Denver church along with her four children — three of whom are U.S.-born — to avoid deportation. Democracy Now! spoke with Vizguerra yesterday; we’ll have more on her release later in the broadcast.
