Arizona Judge Orders Deportation of Immigrant and Reproductive Rights Activist
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In more immigration news, an Arizona judge has issued a deportation
order for well-known immigrant rights and reproductive justice leader
Alejandra Pablos. Earlier this year, Pablos was detained by ICE for more
than 40 days after reporting to a routine check-in. Many believe she was
targeted for her activism. She appeared on Democracy Now! in April.

Alejandra Pablos: "Trump has his own personal police force, which is
ICE. They're enacting all his white supremacist agenda. People-all our
community right now are being deported, especially working people and,
like you said, activists. And I was simply detained because of an arrest
at a peaceful protest in Virginia. I haven't even been convicted."

Alejandra Pablos has vowed to appeal the decision.
