Courtroom clash: Activist claims retaliation, ICE cites years of evasion

A lawyer representing Colorado immigrants’ rights activist Jeanette Vizguerra claims Vizguerra’s 1st Amendment Rights are being abridged by her detainment. They argue that her detention was retaliatory, linked to her criticism of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and her activism.

As a result, a court hearing scheduled for Friday was canceled, and U.S. District Judge Nina Wang instead set a status conference. The allegations came as the status conference unfolded. Vizguerra’s counsel and the US Attorney have been preparing to argue over the legality of Vizguerra’s detainment by ICE authorities since March 17.
