WASHINGTON - Under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy, aliens granted deferred action from deportation who are subsequently found to pose a threat to national security or public safety may have their deferred action terminated at any time and DHS may seek their removal from the United States. This includes those who have been arrested or convicted of certain crimes, or those who are associated with criminal gangs. Since the start of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012, approximately 1,500 recipients have had their deferred action terminated due to a criminal conviction, gang affiliation, or a criminal conviction related to gang affiliation.

On February 10, Daniel Ramirez-Medina, a gang member, was encountered at a residence in Des Moines, Washington, during an operation targeting a prior-deported felon. He was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and was transferred to the Northwest Detention Center to await the outcome of removal proceedings before an immigration judge.

This case illustrates the work ICE fugitive operations teams perform every day across the country to remove public safety threats from our communities when they encounter them. ICE officers, along with their law enforcement partners, have and will continue to enforce our nation’s laws to protect public safety, national security, and to preserve the integrity of our immigration system.

.02 percent of people lose DACA. Not bad, that speaks well about us.

Re: ICE statement on Daniel Ramirez Medina
 

.02 to the anti immigrants is 100%

But how could you be a gang member if you were coerced into claiming one?

I'm more worried about ICE target parents of DACA recipents that any thing else.

He can rot in hell for all I care

Re: ICE statement on Daniel Ramirez Medina
 

Am I missing where there is evidence he really is a gang member?

Re: ICE statement on Daniel Ramirez Medina
 

I guess the question is. When did this 1500 people get their deferred action terminated?
IF it was terminated technically he would not have been able to renew? right?
Another question is. Are these 1500 people being told they are no longer protected?

I posted this the other day but under Obama apparently few cases did happen.

For example, this was last year and sounds similar to this story: http://newbrunswicktoday.com/article...ident-his-home Afterwards his permit was revoked and daca annulled. As of July, 2016 he was still detained.

Of course, under Trump is more concerning. Let's hope he's freed if there's no evidence
