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.
A petition asking Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to pardon the 2010 DUI arrest has amassed more than 16,000 signatures this week.
