First arrest of a DREAMer

U.S. authorities have arrested an immigrant from Mexico who was brought to the United States illegally as a child and later given a work permit during the Obama administration in what could be the first detention of its kind under President Donald Trump.

Daniel Ramirez Medina, a 23-year-old with no criminal record, was taken into custody last week at his father's home in Seattle by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The officers arrived at the home to arrest the man's father, though court documents did no make clear the reason the father was taken into custody.

Ramirez, now in custody in Tacoma, Washington, was granted temporary permission to live and work legally in the United States under a program called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, established in 2012 by Democratic President Obama, according to a court filing.

please dont panic and have a meltdown. a rare isolated event if ever, he will be released under habeas corpus.

"It doesn't matter, because you weren't born in this country," one of the agents said, according to the lawsuit. this line got me, like wtf? lmao.

Merged.

So it begins.

even tho its a mistake, this will be on his record that hes detained... ugh very sad! terrible!

I really hope it was a mistake.

I agree. Keep calm.

Agents will try to fuck you over if you let them plain and simple. HENCE, DO NOT GIVE THEM A REASON TO. Just because you are a dreamer who qualifies or has DACA, that does not mean agents will overlook an immigration-related mistake you do.

so what is the deal now? What is next? will he be released?

FedcourtJunkie @Reuters ? is if they are attempting to deport him. DACAs were also arrested under Obama sometimes but released if no record via @erikaandiola
