Colorado Governor Pardons Illegal Immigrant Living in Churches to Avoid Deportation
By Paula Liu December 25, 2019
The Colorado Governor issues a pardon on Dec. 23 for an illegal immigrant who had been living in Colorado Churches on and off to avoid deportation, according to multiple reports.
Jared Polis, the Colorado Governor, pardoned Ingrid Encalada Latorre, an illegal immigrant, for trying to avoid deportation by living in churches. Churches are protected from giving up undocumented immigrants to federal officials.
Latorre was convicted back in 2010 for having fabricated or stolen identification, and federal authorities started deportation proceedings for her as an illegal immigrant, according to the Gazette.
