Gisella Collazo, the Peruvian woman who has been living at the South Congregational Church in Springfield since March, is rejoining her family this afternoon.
She took sanctuary in the church because she faced imminent deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Collazo has been granted a one-year stay of removal without deportation so that she can continue to pursue an adjustment of her immigration status.
The Reverend Tom Gerstenlauer of South Congregational Church says supporters have stood with Collazo and her family in an act of faith in the face of injustice.
