Colorado immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra released from detention, advocates say
Jeanette Vizguerra was freed on $5,000 bond after nearly nine months in detention; she will continue legal battles and advocate for detained immigrants, supporters said.
- On Monday, immigrant-rights activist Jeanette Vizguerra was released from the Aurora detention center after nine months, following Immigration Judge Brea Burgie setting a $5,000 bond paid by the Immigrant Freedom Fund.
- Her case began when she was arrested during a work shift at a Denver-area Target on March 17, stemming from a 2009 traffic stop that led to a reinstated removal order, according to supporters.
- ICE initially limited media access to the bail hearing, and supporters who held weekly vigils greeted her and planned a Tuesday rally outside the federal courthouse in downtown Denver.
- She will remain free while lawyers continue to challenge Immigration and Customs Enforcement , was released without monitoring devices, and must check in with ICE in January.
- Her case highlights systemic detention challenges, showing many immigration detainees without legal representation face prolonged detention or accept deportation earlier this year, reflecting contested Colorado enforcement practices.
