The judge temporarily banned the White House from deporting the migration activist

A judge has temporarily banned the administration of US President Donald Trump from deporting an immigration activist, whose detention in Colorado this week outraged the state's Democrats and immigrant rights advocates. This was reported by Reuters on March 21.

It is clarified that U.S. District Judge Nina Wang ruled that 53-year-old Mexican citizen Jeanette Visguerra, who moved to a church to avoid deportation, cannot be expelled from Colorado without further legal proceedings.

"The judge has scheduled a hearing for March 28," the agency said.

Vizguerra first entered the United States illegally in 1997. She has been fighting various deportation attempts since 2009, when she was found to have a fake social security card.

The woman attracted national attention when she began living in a church in 2017 to prevent her deportation by the first Trump administration, and then received a one-year deferral from the administration of former President Joe Biden in 2021.

Pain and loss: U.S. spent at least $2 million to deport migrants

The Pentagon confirmed to Izvestia the use of C-17 military aircraft for this purpose - one hour of their operation costs more than $19 thousand.

On February 22, the American leader announced a solution to the problem of illegal migration in the country. He also said that he had provided the United States with the best borders ever. According to him, the administration of the state conducted the largest operation to deport illegal immigrants in the entire existence of the United States.
