Advocates Demand Release of Karla Toledo, Tucson Activist Jailed by ICE

HeadlineMay 22, 2026

In Arizona, Tucson advocates are demanding the release of activist and DACA recipient Karla Toledo, who was violently detained at her home earlier this week. Federal immigration agents forced their way into Toledo’s house to arrest her reportedly without showing a warrant. Toledo has lived in the U.S. since she was 1 year old, and obtained Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which protects immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from deportation. But under Trump’s second term, DACA recipients have been increasingly targeted.
