DACA recipient and Kansas City father of 3 deported to Mexico despite valid documentation
CBS News ^ | April 4, 2025 | By Nidia Cavazos

A 39-year-old DACA recipient and married father of three from Kansas City, Kansas, was deported last month after he left the U.S. and traveled to Mexico to visit his grandfather's grave, according to a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday.

Evenezer Cortez-Martinez was detained March 23 at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport as he was making his way back into the U.S., the lawsuit states.

Cortez-Martinez was deported immediately to Mexico City.

According to Cortez-Martinez's lawyer, Rekha Sharma-Crawford, her client was unaware of a removal order filed in 2024 given he has been a DACA recipient since 2014 and had successfully renewed his permit every two years. Cortez-Martinez was brought to the U.S. as a 4-year-old child.

According to court documents, the CBP officer denied Cortez-Martinez's entry as he was "ordered removed in absentia" on June 11, 2024, and the advance parole document "was issued in error."

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration policy was established in 2012 under the Obama administration to protect unauthorized immigrants brought into the U.S. as children. As of September 2024, there were about 538,000 immigrants, known as dreamers, enrolled in DACA.

In January, a federal appeals court declared DACA unlawful, but kept the policy in place.

“ he has been a DACA recipient since 2014 and had successfully renewed his permit every two years.”

In 2014 he would have been a grown man not a child.

DACA does not provide a path to citizenship for recipients.

“The policy, an executive branch memorandum, was announced by President Barack Obama on June 15, 2012. This followed a campaign by immigrants, advocates and supporters which employed a range of tactics. President Obama explained the limits of DACA, “Let’s be clear — this is not amnesty, this is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship.”[15] A senior government official said, “Deferred action is not a pathway to citizenship. It is not legal status. It simply says that for three years, you are not a law enforcement priority and are not going to go after you... It is temporary and it is revocable.””

The burning question in my mind is - was SHE aware of the removal order and did she not tell her client?

” a federal appeals court declared DACA unlawful, but kept the policy in place. “
This should set precedent for all the Trump policies being halted by rogue judges.
While it makes no sense whatsoever. If the policy is deemed illegal, where is the readily available TRO suspending it?

I think Elaine forgot to give Jerry the mail that she was holding for Jerry while he was out of town and this dude’s Visa renewal was mistakenly in Jerry’s mailbox. It could happen.

Father of three anchor babies. This is how they replicate and fill the ranks of the communist democrat party. How many anchor babies are in the USA today? Is it twenty million, thirty five or even fifty million? None of them are natural born Americans and should ALL be deported along with their illegal alien parents and illegal alien grand parents. /double spit

CBS and other MSM miscreants searching hard to find negative stories against Trump. Never do they look for something positive to write about. Then they wonder why so many people despise and distrust them.

Keep families together by deporting them together.

Maybe he can’t read. My brother ran a flooring concern and Mexican installers were frequently employed

On MANY occasions they f’d up the work because they couldn’t read orders or perform properly

He said they’d show up to customers at the wrong time, on the wrong day or with the wrong product....sometimes they installed at the wrong locations, etc.

These are guys who had been in the US for decades.

I thought DACA was for little kids who had no control over their destiny when their illegal parents brought them over? Thirty-nine and still not a citizen? Just filled out the golden forms to keep the scam going, Another jet-setter zooming around at the expense of fly-over taxpayers.

Let’s see...
Seeing as how he has been an illegal all these years, then he wouldn’t have the proper identification to come back in. He certainly wouldn’t have a valid ID or passport. That’s how foreign travel works.
The only question remaining: is HE stupid? or does he think WE are...?

“visiting grandpappy’s grave”...yeah right....

They’ve been counting on us being stupid for decades and that notion had served them well until Trump became President.
