A
Mexican immigrant who lived for nine months in the basement of the
First Unitarian Church in Denver to avoid deportation left the sanctuary
Tuesday and returned to his
home nearby, after immigration authorities notified him that they would
not carry out his removal. Advocates have highlighted the case of the
man, Arturo Hernández García, 42, as a test of an enforcement program
the Obama administration started this year to
focus deportations on serious convicted criminals. Mr. Hernández
García, who has been in the United States without papers for 15 years
and owns a small construction business with six employees, was
identified by immigration agents as a result of his arrest
on a criminal charge; he was later acquitted. Officials declined to
cancel his deportation order but said they would not act on it.
