President Obama created a program for young people under 31 when the program began in 2012. These individuals must have arrived in the U.S. before turning 16 and lived here continuously since 2007. The DACA program was a compromise devised after Congress repeatedly failed to pass the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would have offered those who arrived here, through no fault of their own, as children a chance at permanent legal residency. The bipartisan act was first introduced in 2001 but repeatedly failed to pass.
Now a local resident, Karla Toledo, was aggressively arrested by ICE this past Monday due to her 'alleged violation of her conditions.' She was authorized to travel out of the country and was taken into custody. Reports indicated she complied with all requirements since childhood.
This is a travesty! None of us is safe as long as the most innocent and vulnerable people are thrown into a concentration camp! THIS MIST BE STOPPED. Do something!
