Seattle: Judge Refuses to Order Release of DREAMer

HeadlineFeb 20, 2017

A Seattle judge refused to order the release of 23-year-old Daniel Ramirez Medina, who was arrested by ICE agents even though he has permission to live and work in the United States under President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA. Ramirez’s supporters rallied outside the hearing on Friday. This is Paul Quinones with the Washington Dream Act Coalition.

Paul Quinones: “If any of us had any doubt that Trump’s regime has declared an open war and open season on all immigrants in this country, that doubt should have evaporated by now. With Daniel’s arrest, we have seen the federal government breaking its promise and showing that it cannot be trusted.”

We’ll have more on the Trump administration’s crackdown against immigration and immigrants currently living in the United States after headlines.
