U.S. immigration authorities have detained a 23-year-old Mexican man who was brought to the United States illegally as a child and given a work permit during the Obama administration, according to a lawsuit challenging the detention in Seattle federal court.
The man's lawyers say this could be the first time under U.S. President Donald Trump that a person covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, has been taken into immigration custody. The program was established in 2012 by Democratic President Barack Obama to allow those brought to the country while young to attend school and work.
According to the lawsuit, Ramirez was asleep at his father's home last Friday morning when ICE agents arrived and arrested the father. When they entered, they asked Ramirez if he was in the country legally, and Ramirez said he had a work permit, the lawsuit stated.

]Under 2014 guidance from the Obama administration, someone would be a deportation priority for gang activity only if they had been convicted of an offence in connection with the gang, not for gang affiliation alone, although there was room for discretion on the part of immigration officials. Reuters could not determine whether gang members who had not committed crimes were deported during Obama's tenure.

Thats not the only injustice, or loophole depending how you look at it, in immigration. I'll keep playing this until people get it

Proving that they allow the bosses and managers who knowingly get away with their hiring practices, not arresting them for it

I honestly think enforcing current immigration laws will do far more than any wall. And cheaper.
The only reason immigrants poured into the USA illegally is because they knew it was soft on its immigration laws and they could milk it for money.
If all they have looking forward to is detention, deportation and no chance of employment or welfare they will stop coming as what will be the point?

The second video covers that.
'Back in the day' beef workers earned a good wage, had benefits, retirement pensions, were citizens too. They could afford homes, families, cars, vacations...
Not anymore.
Businesses that hire illegals are criminal enterprises. Sustaining their greedy ways is a poor excuse to support illegal aliens on our soil.

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

THAT is the Greatness of America of which Trump and his minions are blasphemously clueless!
Wasn't it the French that printed up that slogan? Look at their situation.
