SAN ANTONIO - An El Paso, Texas, woman who witnessed a mass shooting of Latinos at a Walmart in 2019, and provided critical information to state and federal investigators, was deported last week after the Texas attorney general successfully sued to temporarily block President Biden s 100-day pause on deportations.
The 27-year-old was headed home Wednesday when El Paso police stopped her because of a broken brake light, officials said.
