A Colombian woman was arrested by ICE after fleeing to a Chaffee County probation office designated as a sanctuary jurisdiction by the Trump administration.
An illegal immigrant was arrested Tuesday after she tried seeking sanctuary at a Colorado probation office, authorities said.
Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were initially targeting Darwin Arriche-Sierra, 35, a Venezuelan citizen with two convictions for driving under the influence, during a traffic stop.
However, Arriche-Sierra was a passenger in a vehicle being driven by Carolina Suarez-Estrada, 32, a Colombian citizen, who was also in the U.S. illegally.

When agents tried to conduct a vehicle stop in Chaffee County, Suarez-Estrada failed to stop and drove to a county probation office to seek sanctuary inside, ICE said.
