Arizona governor pauses deportation for Guatemalan who gave birth days ago

A 24-year-old Guatemalan immigrant who crossed the U.S. border while eight months pregnant avoided deportation after intervention by her lawyer, the state’s governor, and a federal official in Tucson. She gained attention for being denied access by federal agents at a hospital where she gave birth on Wednesday. The governor contacted CBP, leading to her release from fast-track deportation. CBP confirmed they followed legal procedures, noting she remains with her child, who is U.S.-born.
