A Daca recipient has been taken into custody by immigration officials, attorneys said on Thursday, in what is the second known case of officials targeting people with the protected status.

Josue Romero, a 19-year-old arts student in San Antonio, was arrested for possession of a small amount of marijuana and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), attorneys said, despite being granted temporary relief from deportation under the Obama administration’s deferred action policy.

His case follows the detention of Daniel Ramirez Medina, a Mexico-born 23-year-old parent of a US citizen. He was reportedly arrested in Seattle last week by Ice agents who were looking for his father.

About 750,000 young people, dubbed “Dreamers”, have been granted Daca. The programme was created by Obama via an executive action in 2012 to protect individuals who came to the US as children from deportation. But many are worried that the new federal administration will cancel the scheme and make recipients vulnerable to removal from the country.

This bullshit is just shameful.

RIP America...

Per San Antonio news.

Hope it stays that way.

3. Nightmare will only get worse....

No one seems to realize or care that just because someone was born in another country does not mean that they have a home, family, friends to "return" to in that country..... the youngest may not even possess the language skills necessary to communicate fluently in a language other than English.

But hey, 45 promised a bunch of white nationalists that he alone could make America all white ... and he'll be damned if he's gonna let his supporters down...

WHat right do any of these RWNJ have to decide who stays & who goes? 45 somehow feels it is his "America" to do with as he pleases?

Being elected president is not the same as purchasing an apartment complex...
The new apartment complex owner can wave his deed around, put up a perimeter fence w/no trespassing signs & hire security guards then forcibly evict all the tenants ....
the same does not apply simply because one has been elected to public office!

If the wall goes up I will gladly relinquish my US passport & relocate to the southern side of it...
