DOJ Makes It Easier To Deport DACA Kids

It’s not like 241 of the 261 DACA kids detained last year had criminal histories or something

Justice Department makes it easier to deport those with DACA status

The Trump administration is making it easier to deport immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.

new precedent decision published Friday by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) says being a DACA recipient is not enough reason to provide relief from deportation.

A three-judge panel of appellate immigration judges sided with Department of Homeland Security lawyers who appealed a decision from immigration judge Michael Pleters terminating removal proceedings for Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago, citing Santiago’s active DACA status. They sent the case back to a different immigration judge for review.

Although the decision does not mean Santiago will be immediately deported, it potentially weakens DACA protections for hundreds of thousands of others.

Well, they are in the U.S. illegally, DACA was never authorized by Congress, there’s no statute that allowed relief for illegal alien kids, and even Obama said it was un-Constitutional before he went and did it anyway

Santiago’s case gained national attention after she was detained by Customs and Border Protection officers while boarding a domestic flight at the El Paso airport in August. She was placed in immigration detention until a federal judge granted her release last October. She has been fighting the threat of deportation in the immigration court system since.

You know what NPR forgets to mention?

(PBS) We did ask DHS about her case. They gave us a statement in which they called her a criminal illegal alien and they also said this in part — quote — “Her criminal history includes charges for trespassing, possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia. She will remain in ICE custody pending her removal proceedings.”

Those charges invalidate DACA status. All they were asked was to not be criminals.

    Didn’t Mad King Donny rename the DOJ the DOV (Dept of Vengeance)?

    We Americans can no longer trust a single word out of these cretinous simps of the trump administration.

    Teach considers mere “charges” not “convictions” sufficient for deportation, trump’s DOV is happy to oblige.

    BTW, immigration judges are part of the trump cabal, NOT part of the judicary.

      One of the frequent uses of “simp” is to describe a man who stays with a woman who has cheated on him. It seems that the left are the simps, wanting to stick with the illegal immigrants who have flouted the immigration laws, committed all sorts of other crimes, and cannot live in the United States without daily violating the laws which make them ineligible to work here.

      The left kept telling us that no one is above the law when they thought they could keep Donald Trump from running for election in 2024, but sure have abandoned that idea when it comes to people who are actual law breakers every second they are in our great country. They have simped for the people who crowd our welfare systems, even though they are supposedly ineligible, vote illegally, even though they’ve claimed it never, ever happens, and crowd real Americans out of affordable housing.

        Our K-Y Kunt makes up definitions ad libitum and creates “facts” out of whole cloth!!

        The deeper his Mad King descends into madness the more desperate he sounds.

        All one needs to understand is that he is “closeted” white christian nationalist; a simp to cruel, vile males like rapists Donny and Lil Peter.

    Teach hates all “youts” citizens or not. Are they enjoying life more than him? Don’t they know that they should only be focused on working and making money?

    Trump has deported a total of about 80 kids who were given DACA status.
