An illegal immigrant decided to speak publicly at a news conference about her immigration status Wednesday. She was later detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Daniela Vargas, 22, was detained in Jackson, Miss. shortly after speaking at the press conference, The Clarion-Ledger reports. Vargas, an Argentine national who arrived in the U.S. at age 7, was previously protected under President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Her DACA status, however, recently expired. Vargas’ attorney Abby Peterson told The Clarion-Ledger that Vargas’ car was pulled over by ICE agents moments after the news conference, and they told her, “You know who we are, you know what we’re here for.” The press conference was hosted by local churches, immigration attorneys and the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance to speak about recently deported families. “A path for citizenship is necessary for DACA recipients but also for the other 11 million undocumented people with dreams,” Vargas said at the press event. Vargas can be seen in this photo of the press conference wearing a blue shirt with short hair and standing in the back. Her father and brother were also recently detained by ICE agents as they were likewise in the country illegally. Under direction from President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, ICE has stopped the prioritizing the deportation of only the most serious of criminals. Vargas’ attorney told The Clarion-Ledger: “The concern is, with the priorities as they were set forth in the executive order, people who are not criminals, people who have not been convicted, people who have not even been charged will be swept up by ICE at the same time as violent criminals.”

Well, crap, I didn't see yours before I posted mine. I'm sure you must be to blame for this somehow.
A double post is fine for this. It’s about time illegals learn to stop shooting off their mouth and bragging. Some dumb ass illegals haven’t learned it is best to keep their mouths shut and stay in the shadows if the want to have any chance of prolonging their stay here.
I was hoping Pelosi's illegal Filipino guest last night would get arrested either entering or leaving the Capitol. Alas... TheRightScoop: Illegal alien Jose Vargas BLAMES U.S. for FORCING illegal aliens to break the law!
I reviewed your link and I hope ICE nails his arrogant ass at some time.
Trump, keep cleaning this great country... hunt down, locate and ship back every brown little taco eating illegal shitbag that decided to enter my country and shit on our soil. Gay Johnson or Ron Paultard WOULD NOT be doing what you're doing... thank you for making America AMERICAN AGAIN I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
