A family in Maryland is trying to find a woman arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), whose attorneys say is an American citizen but the government insists is Mexican.

Agents arrested Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales, 22, on December 14 in Baltimore while she was heading home with her sister.

Despite her saying she was born in the U.S., she was held in ICE custody after failing to prove citizenship, the agency said. Attorneys rushed to get a court order keeping her in Maryland, but the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) moved her to Louisiana anyway.

Her family has now been told she has been deported, despite U.S. District Judge Brendan Hurson ruling Thursday that she could not be deported pending a hearing. Perez and colleague Victoria Slatten said they had not been able to confirm Diaz Morales’ whereabouts.

      I’ve seen so many racists say that because they “need” to deport 50 million immigrants, due process just isn’t feasible if we are to “save our country”.

        The only response to anyone saying anything about due process not being necessary is that you are currently calling ice on them for being an illegal immigrant. And when they complain that they are a citizen, you say, “sorry no due process for illegal scum.”

        Well, the other option is called “crimes against humanity.” The racists need to make their choice.
