The Valley mother at the center of a protest outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Phoenix has been deported. At the same time, seven people arrested while protesting her deportation are awaiting their initial court appearances.

Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos is among the first impacted by the president's efforts to crack down on illegal immigrants.

Puente Arizona announced the development during a news conference late Thursday morning.

An ICE spokeswoman confirmed it with a short statement.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation officers removed Ms. Garcia to Mexico Thursday morning shortly before 10 a.m. MST through the DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales, Arizona. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) coordinated her repatriation closely with Mexican consular representatives."
....

Garcia de Rayos was arrested in one of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's workplace raids in 2008. She was convicted of a felony and served six months in ICE detention before being released. They thought her case was cleared -- until Wednesday.

As the demonstration was unfolding, ICE issued a statement out the situation.

"Ms. Garcia, who has a prior felony conviction in Arizona for criminal impersonation, was the subject of a court-issued removal order that became final in July 2013. Ms. Garcia’s immigration case underwent review at multiple levels of the immigration court system, including the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the judges held she did not have a legal basis to remain in the U.S. ICE will continue to focus on identifying and removing individuals with felony convictions who have final orders of removal issued by the nation’s immigration courts."

The only difference between then and now is that Obama's Admin didn't let this Convicted Felon be deported. Trump is.

She stole somebody's ID and used it fraudulently, a felony. #BuildTheWall

Here is a source link for the story.

T L Lipsovich says

stole somebody's ID and used it fraudulently, a felony.

The L.A. Times reported she had been "convicted of felony identity theft for possessing false papers." The Washington Post reported that she had been arrested in a workplace raid and "pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal impersonation, a Class 6 felony, the lowest level." The NY Times provided additional background:

"It was because of her felony conviction for using a phony Social Security number, a common subterfuge by unauthorized immigrants looking to find work in the United States... The Obama administration made a priority of deporting people who were deemed a threat to public or national safety, had ties to criminal gangs, or had committed serious felony offenses or a series of misdemeanor crimes. Ms. Rayos did not fit any of these criteria, which is why she was allowed to stay in the United States even after a judge issued a deportation order against her in 2013.

If someone steals ID and uses it to borrow money or make bail following an arrest, or hijack a plane and fly it into a building, that's a serious problem. I haven't yet found any reports alleging she did anything with the ID other than working illegally. I hope her more sympathetic case won't jeopardize the separate response to the much more serious issue of terrorist/Sharia immigration.
