Carlos Martínez, a Tucsonan who was one of the first people to obtain DACA protection in 2012, lost his immigration status and is being detained in Eloy after he crossed into Mexico and attempted to return to the United States almost immediately in early August.

“It was a moment of frustration,” said his mother Sylvia Baldenegro. “He was desperate.”
Baldenegro said her son, a 37-year-old University of Arizona graduate, has been frustrated and felt desperate in recent years due to unemployment and the impossibility of freely traveling between the two countries.

She thinks that situation and the urge to see his family in Mexico, where he had not returned since his parents brought him to the United State when he was 9 years old, led Martinez to cross the border Aug. 7.
Less than an hour had passed, his father Salvador Martínez said, when his son regretted his decision and decided to return to the U.S.

There is just so much in this story that I don't even know where to start smh.
Like what exactly he thought was going to happen crossing without permission...
A masters degree and can't find a job? Really, I know the job market is not that bad
I think he was just testing the system to see if he could return back in with inspection.
