A Mesa mom is back in Mexico just days after she was detained by federal immigration agents while on the job at a Valley restaurant.
She admits she was living in the U.S. without documentation but claims she is far from being the “dangerous criminals” the Trump administration said they are targeting.
Friday was like any other day for Karime Diaz, who was working her shift at Oregano’s in Mesa. That is until federal agents walked in.
“As I got in there after like half an hour maybe, FBI and ICE showed up to my work place,” she said.
Karime Diaz, a longtime Valley resident and mother of two, was the only worker detained. By Monday, she was gone.
“They didn’t explain anything. They didn’t give me time to get a lawyer, see a judge. Nothing at all. They took me into Florence to a detention center where they were not processing anybody. The officer over there told us that they’re taking from 2,000 to 3,000 people a day,” she explained.
Diaz admits she crossed the border without papers 24 years ago. She says this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. She was taken into custody during a workplace raid when then-Sheriff Joe Arpaio was conducting sweeps across Maricopa County.
“When I had that issue with the immigration, I paid a bond of $8,000 and then I paid $600 per year to get my work permit. I paid $8,000 for my lawyer,” she said.
Her work permit was later revoked during Trump’s first term when the president took several actions that affected work visas and implemented stricter immigration policies to prioritize U.S. workers.

MESA MOM
They love mislabeling these criminals don’t they?
Mexican mom deported home more like it.
So she isn’t a “mom” when she’s at home in Mexico?
Her thyme had come, and for her it was a big dill.
It needs to be very well understood by aliens, politicians and businesspeople that Americans can simply not tolerate being systematically displaced from gainful employment by foreigners that might work a bit harder for a bit less money.
The only country that I am lawfully allowed to take up residence in is the USA.
The only country that I am allowed to work in is the USA.
Of course....look who wrote the article.
Blacks aren’t the only ethnicity that sticks together.
It also needs to be understood that aliens are systematically being allowed to invade Western countries to fundamentally alter Western nation political dynamics by effectively disenfranchising via fraud and other illegality the lawful majority.
The alien invasion is an all-out attack on the American democratic system.
I wonder what would happen to me if I were caught wandering around in Mexico after sneaking in without a penny to my name. Something to think about. There are millions of JoKing, Kamala losers and voters who fear living in America under President Trump. Has anyone seen any movement of them invading Mehico? There should be a steady stream by now. Nothing. Crickets!
I feel a small amount of pity for these guys.
But then I remember a former coworker. I was pretty young at the time in my early 20s (so this was a REALLY LONG TIME AGO). (JUST THINK OF HOW MANY DESCENDANTS HE HAS BY NOW!!!! Over a hundred at least - and how many of them love the USA?)
Guy was good at his job and the owners had worked with him for a long time. He was an open illegal alien who had TEN KIDS in the USA. He also openly hated the USA, refused to speak anglish, and ridiculed me and other gringo coworkers. Everybody was just like “haha, what a character!”
I feel sorry for those who were so forced by poverty and/or persecution that they had to undertake such a risky project as coming to the USA illegally - but then I remember the amazing transformations I’ve seen like those noted above, where (to paraphrase President Trump) “the prey becomes the predator.”
Good luck to ICE and remember to pray for all the brave defenders of our national sovereignty.
Can’t we MONETIZE the illegals?
$10,000.00 to stay. Rigorous review of SS# and other personal records. ONE year to become a citizen.
Sounds like she had a crappy lawyer. Arizona is full of them.
Oh noes......ripping families apart. Again! Guess the left still doesn’t get the ‘consequences for YOUR actions’ thing yet. It ain’t like they didn’t know they were breaking U.S. laws.
We should stop calling it an invasion and start calling it “colonization,” because that’s a more accurate description. Besides, it’ll put the left in a tizzy because they sure enough HATE colonizers.
And if they can’t come up with $10K in a week...out they go? What a zoo that would be.
Good job ICE. The American Moms who have had children raped, tortured, and killed by illegals thank you!
Yep, and the self deportations are increasing exponentially in a daily basis!!
