Daca 身份持有者机场被捕，移民政策收紧引发担忧

Catalina “Xochitl” Santiago, a Daca recipient, was detained at El Paso airport on August 3rd, with her family and advocates unclear on the legal basis for her arrest and potential deportation. Santiago, who arrived in the US at age eight and has renewed her Daca status seven times, was reportedly arrested on charges of trespassing, narcotics, and drug paraphernalia possession, despite no criminal convictions. This case highlights the increasing vulnerability of Daca recipients, often referred to as Dreamers, as the administration reportedly seeks to revoke their benefits and has falsely claimed Daca does not confer legal status.

Immigration advocates have organized protests across multiple cities to draw attention to Santiago's situation and the broader implications for hundreds of thousands of Daca beneficiaries. Her detention, occurring despite her legal status through Daca and her impending marriage to a US citizen, raises concerns about aggressive enforcement actions and the potential separation of families. Santiago is scheduled for a hearing before an immigration judge to determine her fate, while her family experiences significant emotional distress due to her confinement and uncertain future.
