Immigration police seized a 22-year-old Florence mother of two young children last week and are holding her for deportation despite having legal status, The Enquirer has learned.
Quote:
Enriquez, a Honduran national, was 9 when she crossed the U.S.'s southern border in 2004 with an uncle and two of her sisters. She received DACA status in 2015, and her renewal was approved Jan. 31, according to Don Sherman, a local immigrant rights activist and lawyer.

She had previously been under a deportation order before receiving DACA status.
Quote:
Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested her Thursday, Aug. 17, in Louisville. She had gone to an immigration office there to post bond for another immigrant who was eligible for release. Enriquez went, says her family, because she was confident in her legal status.

"They asked for her information when she posted the bond and then told her she didn't have DACA," said her brother-in-law, Robert Cote, of Mount Healthy.



"We called ICE in Chicago, and the person there told us, `When Trump came in, DACA doesn't exist anymore.' I couldn't believe they told me that."


A public affairs spokeswoman at the Chicago immigration office referred The Enquirer to a "detainee" search function at www.ice.gov that was malfunctioning Wednesday morning.


"This is not the first time this year that ICE has misrepresented the situation on DACA for several immigrants around the country," Sherman said.


He said he completed and filed Enriquez's DACA forms and confirmed Tuesday with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that she has legal status under DACA.

Looks like this was a mistake, but then why haven't they released her yet?

I feel 100% safe walking with DACA. If you read the poor lady had some deportation orders. With that regards I definitely feel bad but that's what we get unfortunately with Trump as President.

So basically DACA protection for ppl with removal orders doesn't protect them. Useless.

Are you serious did you not read that she a previous order of deportation? How does her case affect everybody who has DACA?

I feel bad that she had to go through that but not all of us and in the same situation and we can go to an ice office with no issues.

Having DACA should have protected her even with a previous order of deportation. And she wasn't at the ICE office for herself, but to help someone else post bond.


Edit: Durbin tweeted about it, so hopefully he can help her.
