We were #live during a press conference in #Boulder#Colorado yesterday afternoon for the announcement that mother and immigrant rights advocate Ingrid Encalada Latorre was granted a 1 year stay of removal. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Rev. David Schwartz opened the conference. He is the lead minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder where Encalada Latorre claimed sanctuary for 4+ years. Because of the stay, she can now leave the church to go on hikes, take her children to school, etc.
Although this is positive news for Encalada Latorre, and her family and friends, there is more work to be done. Encalada Latorre and her team plan on trying to reopen her case, which a Jefferson County district judge refused to do in August 2017.
One of her children spoke at the conference saying "this is one of my favorite days ever."
