Jeannette Vizguerra

Jeannette Vizguerra is a prominent Mexican immigrant activist who has garnered international attention for her advocacy on behalf of undocumented immigrants in the United States. After arriving in the U.S. in 1997, she faced a deportation order in 2009, which she successfully resisted by seeking sanctuary in a Denver church. Recognized by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, Vizguerra has become a symbol of the fight for immigrant rights. In recent news, a federal judge temporarily suspended her deportation, allowing her to remain in Colorado while her legal appeal is processed.
