Honduran Immigrant Alex García Leaves Missouri Church After 1,252 Days in Sanctuary
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Missouri, Honduran immigrant Alex García left a church in the St.
Louis suburb of Maplewood Wednesday, after spending more than 1,200 days
living in sanctuary. The Trump administration had scheduled the married
father of five to be deported in 2017. García emerged from sanctuary
after freshman Missouri Congressmember Cori Bush introduced a "private
bill" to grant him permanent residency.
