Maribel Trujillo Diaz, who has peacefully lived in the United States for 15 years, was deported to her native Mexico on Wednesday, her lawyers confirmed. Trujillo Diaz’s case was notable for the wide spectrum of support she received, both in Ohio and across the country. She also received strong support from religious organizations. Trujillo Diaz is a Catholic who was an active member of St. Julie Billiart Parish in Hamilton, Ohio. The state’s Catholic community had rallied around the mom, and Cincinnati’s Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr wrote to ICE in February asking for leniency.
