Colorado Immigrant Rights Activist Jeanette Vizguerra Denied a Visa
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Colorado immigrant rights activist Jeanette Vizguerra has been denied an
application for a visa in her latest attempt to stay in the United
States, where she has lived for almost 25 years. Earlier this year,
Vizguerra took sanctuary at the First Unitarian Society of Denver church
after her stay of deportation expired. She also spent 86 days in
sanctuary at the church in 2017 before receiving her stay of
deportation. She is the mother of four children, three of whom were born
in the U.S. as American citizens. Click here to see our coverage of
Jeanette Vizguerra's case.
