A small piece of paper hangs above a bed in the pastor’s office at the Mancos United Methodist Church.It’s a sign-up sheet with the names of local residents committed to watching over Rosa Sabido, a Mexican national who has found sanctuary from deportation in the Colorado church. The residents sleep in the church office, while Sabido rests in a separate room normally used as a children’s nursery.
For the last 30 years, Sabido has lived in the U.S. on visitor visas or by receiving stays of deportation, but she was denied a stay in May and became eligible for immediate deportation.
Sabido won six one-year stays of removal, before her last request was denied in May.
“Pursuing repeated stays is not a viable means for an alien to permanently postpone their required return to their country of origin,” ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said in a prepared statement. “Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly has made it clear that ICE will no longer exempt any class of individuals from removal proceedings if they are found to be in the country illegally.”
First really positive thing I have seen done under the Trump admin. Go John Kelly!

As was mentioned, this is a gray area. One example is when Manuel Noriega took sanctuary in the Apostolic Nunciature, which was the Vatican's embassy in Panama.

Is Panama a US state??
