Alejandra Pablos

On Thursday afternoon, activist Alejandra Pablos - my friend - will stand up in court and wait for a judge to decide the fate of her freedom. Ale, as her friends call her, was taken into custody by ICE and has been detained for the last 42 days.
Ale lost her green card and was put in line for deportation after a 2011 arrest and conviction on several charges including driving under the influence. She spent two years in Eloy Detention Center in Southern Arizona.
This January, Ale, a dedicated reproductive justice and immigrant rights organizer, was leading chants at a peaceful protest outside Department of Homeland Security offices in Virginia when DHS agents detained her. On March 7, she was taken into custody and not allowed to pay bond.
When we first met, she told me how her family came to the United States from Mexico, and how her undocumented status shaped her decision to have an abortion in 2017. The Trump administration’s plans to increase deportations of undocumented immigrants, and to separate families to do so, made becoming a mother an unacceptable risk for her.
When I heard in March that Ale had been detained by ICE, I felt sick. Watching our immigration system devastate my friend’s life and the life of her family makes me feel helpless. But I am not helpless. I have a voice, and as a citizen I can speak out. I can continue to highlight the privilege that white supremacy affords someone like me.
For a long time, it was invisible to me, but now I know: Privilege makes the difference between feeling safe starting a family and fearing having your family ripped apart. It makes the difference between a slap on the wrist and begging a judge to spare you from deportation.

Alejandra Pablos
Brainwashed idiot.
Behold more victimology.
Bland, suffers from delusions grandure.
Is “reproductive justice” their latest euphemism for baby-killing?
Good riddance!
What if Ale had killed someone driving under the influence? She sounds like exactly the kind of illegal who should be first on the plane out of the country.
She is a baby killer.
Ale’s mama separated her from all her family in Mexico. If Ale is so concerned, she should self deport back to her family.

Sadly, we have plenty of people who are willing to do those jobs, and don’t need imports. Meanwhile, can we deport Holly Bland anywhere?

Deport the both of them. The county will be better for it.

Ale, YOUR PHYSICAL VOICE IS HEARD, YET, YOUR LEGAL CITIZENS VOICE IS SILENT.

Should have been deported in 2011 but we had a Kenyanseian usurping the office of President and the laws were ignored.
“Privilege makes the difference between feeling safe starting a family and fearing having your family ripped apart.”
She CAN feel safe starting a family-——just not here.

So, she not only killed her child she deprived it
of citizenship...how stupid is that!
Too bad we can’t deport them both!

I love it. That’s the way it should be.
These protests are a gold mine for finding illegal aliens.
