Federal agents have deported the first “Dreamer” of President Trump’s tenure so far, according to an examination of his administration’s immigration policies.

Juan Manuel Montes, who first arrived in the U.S. at age 9, is now in his native Mexico despite having active protection under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, USA Today reported Tuesday.

“Some people told me that they were going to deport me; others said nothing would happen,” Montes said from his aunt and uncle’s home in western Mexico.

“I thought that if I kept my nose clean nothing would happen,” he added, requesting the exact location of his whereabouts remain unknown.
USA Today said a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) officer approached Montes, 23, the evening of Feb. 17 in Calexico, Calif.

Montes had left his wallet in a friend’s car, meaning he could not display his ID or DACA status during the encounter. The “Dreamer” ended up in Mexico hours later, USA Today continued, after agents told him he could not retrieve his documents.

USA Today added that Montes was twice granted deportation protections under DACA before his ejection in February.

DACA lets qualifying undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children obtain work permits and relief from deportation based on their migratory status.

Former President Barack Obama first implemented the policy in June 2012, and it now boasts 750,000 participants.

Trump vowed to end DACA during his 2016 election campaign, but has since spoken sympathetically of the young people benefiting from it.

“DACA is a very, very difficult subject for me,” he said in February, adding he hoped to tackle the issue “with heart.”

United We Dream, an advocacy organization made up of DACA enrollees and other young immigrants, says at least 10 so-called “Dreamers” are in federal custody.

The Trump administration has said DACA recipients are not a deportation priority, with its focus instead being criminal undocumented immigrants.

Within three hours, he was back in Mexico, becoming the first undocumented immigrant with active DACA status deported by the Trump administration's stepped-up deportation policy.

Court records show he has four convictions: one for shoplifting in January 2016, and three for driving without a license, most recently three months ago.

Those convictions are not serious enough to disqualify him from DACA protections, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency that approves DACA applications.
Under trump they are serious.

He had minor convictions, but most importantly he should have never signed those papers, which allowed ICE to quickly remove him.

His disability may have prevented him from fully understanding what he was signing.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. He most likely would have been eventually released if he had refused to sign with help of a lawyer/activists.

Basically this, don't sign anything that ICE gives you. 99% of the time it will be form I-243 that you basically ask to be removed and waive any and all rights to fight that.

Only recourse here would be to file a case with the Court of Appeals for whatever circuit he lived in. Whereas unlikely it has happened that a CoA ordered ICE to return a deportee back to the states.

He will be back soon. Just wait until this becomes a headline.

Cheeky move would be to apply for advance parole from abroad.
