Undocumented Grandmother Temporarily Avoid Detention

The leaders in Chicago community on Tuesday rallied around for a 67-year-old woman, whose supporters said that, she was abruptly called for the meeting with immigration authorities despite of having been granted the deferred status.

A undocumented grandmother, Genoveva Ramirez of 10 from the Mexico City, received a call from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the Mother's Day, said her family.

It was the first time she had been required to check in with the department since the year 2015.

"We all deserve the fighting chance to stay here with our families and our communities where we have built our lives," said Arianna Salgado, with the Organized Communities Against Deportation.

"I think it’s alarming given some of the national changes that we’re seeing the fact that across the country community members are being asked to check in and many of them are being stopped and detained and put into deportation proceedings that day,” said Lissette Castillo with the Organized Communities Against Deportation.

Ultimately Ramirez has received no detention and also emerged from a meeting with the immigration authorities to cheers and lovely hugs.

Her fight is not yet over, though. Her attorney said that the immigration officials have indicated that they would consider her stay of removal and also she must meet with the authorities once again in the late August.

Ramirez said that she will not give up.
