A Honduran immigrant who has lived in a Missouri church for more than three years to avoid deportation could be reprieved under a special act of Congress proposed by freshman Democrat Cori Bush.
Alex Garcia, who fled Honduras in 2004 and entered the US by stowing away on a train to Missouri, took refuge in the Christ Church United Church of Christ in the St Louis suburbs in 2017.
It made him one of dozens of people to take such sanctuary during the Trump era, but while President Biden is slowly unwinding his predecessor s policies, hundreds of deportations have still been taking place since the January 20 inauguration.
