DC-area activist stripped of green card, ordered deported to Mexico

This is pretty big. If you have friends who only have green cards, tell them to be careful and apply for citizenship ASAP! Trump and his MAGAtards are going after green card holders!

ANNANDALE, Va. (AP) — An Arizona judge has stripped a prominent Washington-area immigration and reproductive rights organizer of her green card and ordered her deportation.

The Washington Post reports the immigration judge on Tuesday also denied 33-year-old Alejandra Pablos’ petitions for asylum, saying the Mexican-born legal permanent resident wouldn’t qualify because reproductive rights activists aren’t deemed a group in need of protection.

Pablos was arrested in March when she traveled to Phoenix to check in with immigration officials on a pending deportation case stemming from a felony conviction for driving under the influence.

Pablos’ supporters believe her activism made her a target of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which the agency denies.
