Northwest Immigrant Activist Says She Faces Deportation
US News & World Report ^ | January 16, 2018

SEATTLE - A longtime activist for illegal immigrants in the Northwest says she herself is now facing deportation.

Maru Mora-Villalpando, a native of Mexico City who has been in the U.S. for more than 25 years, said Tuesday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has given her a notice to appear before an immigration judge.

She says she believes ICE is targeting her because of her activism. She leads an organization called Northwest Detention Center Resistance, which was created in 2014 when detainees at the privately run immigration detention facility in Tacoma began a series of hunger strikes to protest their treatment. She has also spoken publicly about being the undocumented mother of an American citizen.

She should deported her because she is illegal. Illegals used to be smart enough to keep a low profile.

She is a confessed illegal alien. It should be a no brainer. Deport her.

I tell you, how petty and small of us to deport a person leading a "resistance" organization inside our borders. We are so small-minded on these matters.

She's been here 25 years!! Got here during Clinton I. And we haven't given her sorry enemy subversive ass the boot in all that time?
