U.S. immigration officials consider Nury Chavarria a fugitive. She has found sanctuary in a New Haven church to avoid deportation. US Policy restricts Immigration officials from entering a house of worship except in extraordinary circumstances.

Gov. Malloy supports the actions of Mrs. Chavarria, of Norwalk. He visited with her at Iglesia De Dios Pentecostal church. Malloy said the attempt to deport the Chavarria, who has no criminal history, shows Trump's administration is not being truthful when it says its immigration policies are focused on "the bad guys."

" I am also very concerned that the greater wrong is when the American people are lied to about what their government is doing," he told reporters after leaving the church. "If everything I have learned so far about this particular case bears up then we are being lied to about this case and apparently other cases, as well." said Malloy

Chavarria, who is from Guatemala, has lived in the U.S. for 24 years. Her four children, ages 9 to 21, are U.S. citizens. She fled from violent and harsh economic conditions in Guatemala. Conditions caused by years of US intervention on behalf of US corporations.
