Mesa mom detained while at work, deported back to Mexico 3 days later
Arizona’s Family ^ | June 18, 2025 | Alexis Dominguez

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.

It seems that ICE is finally starting to roll.
2000-3000 a day, still not enough by any means, but the 10,000 a day target is slowly materializing!

Everybody has to go!
Even if they lived here for a long time, has US citizen children and never committed any additional crimes.
Please, self deport, before ICE gets you!

And, in a not unrelated story, physicists at Loughborough University using nanotechnology have created "the world's smallest violin," which is small enough to fit within the width of a human hair.

Border Czar, Tom Homan, will now serenade Karime Diaz with a stirring rendition of "My Heart Bleeds For You."

Well, bye! Get out of my country!

And she is not a “Mesa mom”; she is a Mexican mom.

The article doesn’t tell us how much she has cost US citizens in terms of medicaid, housing assistance, EBT, sending her progeny to school, law enforcement, etc.

“Documentation” isn’t the issue. It is legal residence or not. Lots of illegals have documents — fraudulent ones, including stolen identities.

She should have used that money to get her citizenship.
