A Triad woman has returned home and reunited with her family in Asheboro after living in a Greensboro church for almost four years.
In May 2017, Juana Ortega avoided Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention when she sought sanctuary at Saint Barnabas Episcopal Church in Greensboro. After 1482 days, the mom and grandmother learned she would not be deported.
Ortega was granted a stay of removal by the Department of Homeland Security and returned to Asheboro. She is the final person seeking sanctuary in the state to receive a stay of removal since the Biden Administration took office in January.
