The Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder is a Unitarian Universalist ("UU") church in Boulder, Colorado.
In 2017, congregation members voted to become a sanctuary church[1] and from December 2017 to March 2022, undocumented immigrant Ingrid Encalada Latorre lived in sanctuary within the church building[2][3][4][5][6][7] prior to being pardoned[8][9] by Colorado Governor Jared Polis and granted a stay of removal in 2021.[10][11] Encalada Latoree was one of more than 70 immigrants nationally who lived in sanctuary in churches during the Trump presidency.[12]
