Mother deported in Arizona immigration case that sparked protests

(CNN) - Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, a mother of two taken into custody during her yearly check-in with immigration officials in Phoenix, has been deported to her native Mexico, advocates working with her family said Thursday.
Carlos Garcia, director of immigration rights group Puente Arizona, told reporters that Garcia de Rayos had been deported to Nogales, Mexico.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Garcia de Rayos was detained "based on a removal order issued by the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review which became final in May 2013."
Garcia de Rayos said a prayer and attended Mass before her yearly immigration check-in Wednesday, according to advocates.
But her meeting ended differently than ones in previous years: She was taken into custody and ordered to be deported.
