Description: After 554 days living in sanctuary at a Philadelphia church, Honduran mother Suyapa Reyes finally received her freedom last month after federal immigration officials granted her a stay of her deportation order. Reyes had been living at First United Methodist Church of Germantown with her four young children since September of 2018. Reyes has now received a grant of deferred action, which will allow her to remain in the United States and get a work permit. Reyes has been living in Philadelphia since 2014, after she fled from her home country of Honduras with her two oldest children. Her other two children are U.S. citizens. We speak with Suyapa Reyes and Blanca Pacheco, co-director of the New Sanctuary Movement Philadelphia.
