Hilda Ramirez escaped the violence of her native Guatemala in order to save her son s life amid recruitment efforts by violent gangs. (Austin Sanctuary Network)
AUSTIN, TX Four women living in sanctuary including one living in an Austin church to avoid being deported filed a lawsuit Tuesday against U.S. immigration officials for targeting them with retaliatory and excessive civil fines.
The women were joined in the lawsuit by Austin Sanctuary Network and Free Migration Project. Each plaintiff is a leader in the modern sanctuary movement begun in the 1980s as a resistance to government oppression, officials noted in an advisory. Houses of worship across the country .including St. Andrew s Presbyterian Church in Austin, 14311 Wells Port Dr., where Guatemalan refugee Hilda Ramirez has taken shelter have offered sanctuary in solidarity with migrants who otherwise would be deported.
