Ramirez Medina was being held at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma as of Tuesday afternoon. “The Trump administration betrayed the promise that the federal government made to Daniel and everyone with DACA”.

A Mexican man who was seven-years-old when he illegally moved to the U.S. has been arrested and detained, despite holding a valid work permit.
Let’s just hope this is merely a fluke, and this DACA recipient will soon be released, and allowed to remain in the USA under his grant of deferred action until 2018. After making the arrest, they allegedly went back into the house and confronted Ramirez.
ROSENBAUM: No. That’s nonsense.
“These are human beings with no criminal records”, Antezana added.
Medina, according to his lawyers, passed this process twice, obtaining his most recent Daca renewal in May 2016. “I do not have a criminal history and I’m not affiliated with any gangs”. “In some they’re having Daca and they’re gang members and drug dealers”, he said. Under Obama, gang affiliation was grounds for removal. “More details should be released about what led to this arrest, including whether the detention of a DACA recipient is a shift in immigration policy related to DACA recipients. We are prepared to fight to protect our DACA Dreamers from harassment and deportation”. He has spent most of his life here. He was brought to the United States as a child and his attorneys said he should not be deported because of his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status.
Ramirez, 23, is expected to appear in U.S. District Court at Seattle on Friday morning for a preliminary hearing challenging his arrest.
“Even people who are undocumented have certain constitutional rights, including the rights to remain silent and the right to call an attorney”. “It’s do you know anyone ever in a gang”.
“We can not faithfully execute the immigration laws of the United States if we exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement”, the order states. This was renewed for him past year. Mr Ramirez did not say these things because they are not true.
“DACA is a very, very hard subject for me”, Trump conceded during a rambling East Room news conference Thursday, promising to address the issue “with heart….” But the document says one of the ICE agents replied: “It doesn’t matter, because you weren’t born in this country”. But immigrant advocacy groups and Democrats have expressed concern that the Trump administration will escalate immigration enforcement efforts in line with the president’s tough stance toward illegal immigrants. His comments Thursday are the latest sign that Trump may ultimately take less hard-line immigration stances than he offered during the Republican primaries.
Dondisch said he was happy to hear Trump’s words on DACA, and that his government has not seen a dramatic increase in enforcement targeted toward DACA recipients. Talk to your representatives as to what’s going on.
There’s a tattoo on Daniel Ramirez Medina’s forearm.
“We’re going to show great heart”. I’m talking the existing law is very rough.
ROSENBAUM: Thanks for your interest.
Department of Homeland Security officials describe Ramirez’s arrest as part of a routine enforcement activity. It repeats the assertion that Daniel Ramirez Medina is a gang member.
A law-abiding immigrant protected by former President Obama’s deferred deportation program should be released from immigration custody, according to a petition for habeas corpus.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security said that since 2012, when Obama was president, about 1,500 DACA recipients have had their permits terminated due to a criminal conviction or gang affiliation.
