On an evening that included cold rain and punishing winds, supporters of detained immigrant advocate Jeanette Vizguerra protested outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Aurora.

An undocumented mother and high-profile activist was detained by ICE while she was on a work break from her job at Target, her attorney and a family friend say.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston decried Vizguerra’s detention as an abuse of power and “Putin-style persecution of political dissidents.”
