Ecuadorian takes refuge in a church to avoid deportation

Churches in the United States are becoming shelters for undocumented immigrants who try to avoid deportation. This is the case of Ecuadorian Marco Antonio Reyes Alvarez, who entered a church in New Haven. Reyes is the second immigrant who resists deportation by taking refuge in a shrine. Last month, a Guatemalan woman did the same when she entered a Pentecostal temple. The immigration authorities agreed to analyze her case following this action.

 

 

Reyes, who lives in Meriden (Connecticut), had to take yesterday, August 8, 2017, a plane that would bring him to Ecuador.
