A Mexican mother of four, an undocumented immigrant who has lived in the United States for 20 years, took refuge at a Denver church Wednesday while she fights to remain in the country, KDVR reported.
Jeanette Vizguerra, 44, sought sanctuary in the First Unitarian Society church after U.S. Immigration and Enforcement officials denied her request for a "stay of removal" on Wednesday, immigration lawyer Hans Meyer told Reuters.
Vizguerra had received five previous stays because she was the victim of an unspecified violent crime and has a pending visa application, Meyer told Reuters.
