Eight years ago, guadalupeg I see de Rios was arrested when authorities raided her Arizona workplace. She had used false identity documents. She later played guilty to criminal impersonation, which is a felony. For months, she was held at a detention facility and then released. She was ordered to check in with ICE twice a year. This continued all through the Obama years, but during her latest ICE check in,
something different happened. She was detained. Last week, she was put in a van to be deported to her native Mako. A local pro illegal immigrant group got wind of the plan, and about two hundred people showed up to protest. They banged on drums, they raised flags, They shouted no papers, no fear, and let her go. Set her free. Protesters surrounded the van carrying Mr Rios for several hours. One guy tied himself to a van tire. Seven protesters were arrested.
All of this was for naught. The protest group director broke it to the crowd. She has been deported. He called her one of the first victims of President Trump. ICE officials later confirmed Mr Rios had been removed to Macho, but she's not a Trump victim. In fact, she's not a victim at all. Suddenly, and for a change, US law is being followed. Mr Rios victimized herself years ago when she broke that law, and she was finally held accountable. Big whoop.
