Undocumented DREAMer Daniela Vargas Arrested After News Conference

HeadlineMar 02, 2017

In immigration news, ICE officers arrested 22-year-old undocumented immigrant Daniela Vargas in Jackson, Mississippi, on Wednesday, shortly after she spoke out publicly in a news conference about the detention of her family. The arrest further stoked fears that the Trump administration is cracking down against DREAMers—immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, who received permission to live and work in the U.S. under President Obama’s DACA program, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. At the time of her arrest, Vargas had a pending application for the renewal of her DACA status.
