An immigration rights activist whose own undocumented status was exposed by a drunken-driving arrest has lost her six-month legal battle to remain in the country.
Wendy Uruchi Contreras, a Virginia organizer for the immigrant rights group CASA, is scheduled to be deported to Spain this week after last-ditch appeals were denied by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, according to her husband, Giovani Jimenez.
We are devastated, said Jimenez, who lives in Fredericksburg, Va., with their American-born children, Alex, 13, and Lucia, 7. My children are crying, but we know theres nothing more we can do.

“We are devastated”
Devastate this, jack. All the way back to Spain.
The kids should assume the nationality of the parents.This anchor baby,born on US soil makes you a citizen has to end.How many other counties have this policy?
They screwed up by talking to the Post. They thought it would raise awareness, not realizing that the Democrats would use them as an example to pretend that they care about Americans who are killed by illegal immigrants drunk drivers. Poor fools.
Geez, she was drunk *and* on a cell phone??? Wow. Just wow. Not going to get much sympathy, I think.
Is dad a citizen? If not, the kids aren’t either. Anchor baby citizenship is complete BS.
And besides, the Clinton Administration thought the children should be with their parents, and they sent armed officers to remove Elian Gonzalez from his American relatives. So take your kids with you.
Please, please this Obama’s rule. He should be blamed for sending this illegal back to Spain. Driving drunk is not a victimless crime. We see too many drunk drivers going wrong way and hitting someone head on. Other driver killed, drunk walks away. Her kids can stay here or come back later. Oh by the way, her kids speak Spanish.
More like one down, 29,999,999 to go.
What about her husband? Is he an illegal alien too?
Alahwahoo Depbar!
Get um out!
Exactly. Oh, there's a wait? And a formal procedure? Yep. And if it's worth it, she'll do it, and if it isn't, vaya con dios.
A deportation puts you on a 10 year ban list from even applying.
You’d think they’d be happy to leave this horrible, racist country.
The rule of law.
That scumbag Obama took an oath and then broke it.
So did a lot of others in FEDGOV.
There will be consequences.
What chutzpah!! Not only is she here illegally, she flaunts by being an activist.
There is already a bill in Congress, get your Congressman to co-sponsor, I wrote to mine today.
...I dont feel safe: Undocumented immigrants fear a Trump presidency....
We don’t feel safe with Illegals driving drunk and committing other crimes that would never have haopened if they were not here to commit them.
“My children are crying, but we know theres nothing more we can do.
Yes, there is something more you can do. GTFO and go back to Spain!
I thought the father was probably also an illegal alien, deport them all.
They could be president!
