Henderson 3 Years After Taking Sanctuary In A Maplewood Church, Alex Garcia Still Needs A Path Forward /show/st-louis-on-the-air/2020-09-25/monday-longtime-missourian-and-honduran-native-alex-garcia-marks-3-years-of-sanctuary Alex Garcia has spent the last 1,101 days living in a Maplewood church. In 2017, Immigration and Customs Enforcement denied Garcia’s request for a stay of removal from the United States, and the Honduran native still lacks a viable path to U.S. citizenship. Until he has one, he and his community of supporters have made clear, Christ Church is home.
