Vizguerra was a reported survivor of violence who escaped from Mexico City to the U.S. in 1997 with her husband and eldest daughter, who was then six years old.

Colorado democratic leaders respond to Vizguerra's arrest

In response to Monday's detention, Colorado's U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet said the following on social media:

Jeanette Vizguerra is a mother and pillar in her community. I am deeply concerned about ICE's actions to detain her without any due process, like a deportation order. ICE should ensure Jeanette has legal counsel and immediately release her.

U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper also commented on the reported detention saying:

There are serious concerns about ICE’s actions to detain Jeanette Vizguerra. Targeting a mother who has been an active part of our Colorado community for nearly three decades will not fix our broken immigration system or secure our border.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, who recently faced a Congressional committee to justify the city's immigration policies, called Vizguerra's arrest a "Putin-style persecution of political dissidents."
