After 18 Months In Sanctuary At A Bethesda Church, This Undocumented Mother Has Been Granted A Stay Of Removal
Rosa Gutiérrez Lopez is free to move around the D.C. area for at least 60 days.
Potentially hundreds of inmates held in D.C. correctional facilities could still be turned over to ICE by local officials.
The bill now goes to the mayor for her signature. Unlike permanent legislation, it isn’t subject to congressional review.
“The reason why I took sanctuary is because I love my children and do not want to leave my country.”
The District’s local courthouse is funded by the federal government and staffed by the federal U.S. Marshals Service, the only such arrangement in the country.
“It is a clear need for residents in the District, and we’re addressing it,” says General Counsel Betsy Cavendish.
ICE says the agency has nothing to do with the posters, which warn people not to “harbor” or “shield from protection” any “illegal aliens.”
