Trump Begins Crackdown On DREAMers: "We Are Hoping This Detention Was A Mistake"

What seems to be the first detention of a so-called DREAMer, a 23-year-old illegal Mexican immigrant has been arrested in Seattle by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

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.

The program protects from deportation 750,000 people who were brought to the United States illegally as children, sometimes called the "dreamers," and gives them the temporary right to work legally in the United States.

Ramirez filed a challenge to his detention in Seattle federal court on Monday, arguing that the government violated his constitutional rights because he had work authorization under the DACA program.

“It doesn’t matter, because you weren’t born in this country,” one of the agents said, according to the lawsuit.

If you are illegal you have broken the law. It really is that simple, even for a left wing radical.

Temporary... time's up. Thanks for participating. Go stand in that line at the US Embassy and apply for your next entry visa, like everyone else, and don't forget to say "thank you" (gracias) for the few years that you did get to stay here.

Take it up with the shadow president, once you arrive in Mexico.

Bring back the Alien and Sedition Acts and arrest Obama for sedition. He’s running the shadow government he set up to destroy the current administration.

Here is a way for a liberal to understand it....Trump is the pregnant woman, illegals are the fetus....deportation is an abortion.....Hey illegal...How does it feel to be fetus in this pro-choixe arrangement.

Get ready for a huge influx of MSM reports on poor young DACA immigrants looking for better lives with the assistance of getting a free education that you or I can’t get. It’s all propagandist BS for the soft skulled and of course they will buy it as truth without question...
