Federal agents ignored President Trump's pledge to protect from deportation undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children by sending a young man back to his native Mexico, the first such documented case, a USA TODAY examination of the new administration's immigration policies shows.After spending an evening with his girlfriend in Calexico, Calif., on Feb. 17, Juan Manuel Montes, 23, who has lived in the U.S. since age 9, grabbed a bite and was waiting for a ride when a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer approached and started asking questions.
Montes was twice granted deportation protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program created by President Barack Obama and left intact by President Trump.



Montes had left his wallet in a friend's car, so he couldn't produce his ID or proof of his DACA status and was told by agents he couldn't retrieve them. Within three hours, he was back in Mexico, becoming the first undocumented immigrant with active DACA status deported by the Trump administration's stepped-up deportation policy.

First protected DREAMer is deported under Trump despite promise not to. :shock:
 
Rather than Trump, inattention to detail seems to be his undoing. Having 24/7 bodily possession of his ID and DACA papers should have been a highest-priority.

Spokeswoman Jenny Burke said the department had no record of him renewing his DACA status after it expired in 2015, even though Montes' attorneys provided a copy of his work authorization card that showed his DACA status was valid through 2018.

We shall see then.

Currently, all dreamers are still protected under DACA so this could be a yuge mistake on immigration officials if Montes did renew his status.
 
He a yuuge mistake by leaving his identification in his friend's car.
 
David Lapan, a DHS spokesman, told TheDC, “Juan Manuel Montes Bojorquez was apprehended by the Calexico Station Border Patrol after illegally entering the U.S. by climbing over the fence in downtown Calexico. He was arrested by BP just minutes after he made his illegal entry and admitted under oath during the arrest interview that he had entered illegally.”


The spokesman added, “His DACA status expired in Aug. 2015 and he was notified at that time. In addition, he has a conviction for theft for which he received probation.”

USA Today continues to stand behind the story. Reporters say they were shown a DACA card belonging to Bojorquez that expires in 2018.

I would assume he could come across the border again with his papers in his hands.

In the case of Latinos, a lot have the same name so it is difficult to just look it up in a system so it is very important for somebody to keep their ID on them at all times.

Edit: I say Common Sense 1's post. Never mind.

Thank God for the Daily Caller, RT, Alex Jones, Breitbart and Milo Yianopoulous News. Without credible media sources like them we'd be awash in G.D. lies by the MSM.

USAToday wasn't telling the whole story. Fake news.




The individual was arrested because he jumped the fence in Calexico entering the U.S. illegally.

This clearly shows he broke the dreamer contract.

From the above link.

However, in an updated statement Wednesday, Lapan said: “After a detailed records search, we determined that Juan Manuel Montes-Bojorquez was approved for DACA starting in 2014 and had a DACA expiration date of Jan. 25, 2018. However, Mr. Montes-Bojorquez lost his DACA status when he left the United States without advanced parole on an unknown date prior to his arrest by the U.S. Border Patrol on Feb. 19, 2017.”

[...]

The DHS spokesman said: “The U.S. Border Patrol has no record of encountering Mr. Montes-Bojorquez in the days before his detention and subsequent arrest for immigration violations on February 19, 2017. There are no records or evidence to support Montes-Bojorquez’s claim that he was detained or taken to the Calexico Port of Entry on February 18, 2017.”

“During his arrest interview, he never mentioned that he had received DACA status. However, even if Montes-Bojorquez had informed agents of his DACA status, he had violated the conditions of his status by breaking continuous residency in the United States by leaving and then reentering the U.S. illegally,” Lapan added.

The guy was rightfully deported.

I think you are missing some points.

The case asserts the guy was arrested and deported on Feb. 17* without being able to retreive his identification. He then on the 19* attempted to get back into the US and was caught and deported again. The DHS is disputing that they have a record of him being deported the first time. They are claiming his DACA authorization is invalid because he left the country without permission, but he is saying the DHS are the ones who threw him out of the country in the first place.

Also, the kid is mentally handicapped. I think that's important to note.

"According to the complaint, filed in Federal District Court in Southern California, agents with Customs and Border Protection “arrested, detained and physically removed” Mr. Montes after stopping him while he was walking in the border town of Calexico, Calif., on Feb. 17.

Ms. Hincapié said that Mr. Montes, who is cognitively impaired because of a brain injury he suffered as a child, told agents that he had left his wallet, with his documents, in a friend’s car. They denied his request to have a relative retrieve them, she said.

Mr. Montes was taken across the border to Mexicali, Mexico, where he stayed with a friend. After being beaten and robbed while walking on the street, he tried to re-enter the United States around Feb. 19, but he was quickly detained and sent across the border again, the lawsuit said."

No, that is his assertion, one that there is no record of.
You realize that indicates he is lying right? That then casts doubts on anything else he says regarding the issue.

From your own article.
But the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday that it had no record of Mr. Montes being deported the first time. So when he was arrested on Feb. 19 trying to cross into the United States, it meant he had left the country without seeking advance permission to re-enter, as DACA rules require.

Gillian Christensen, a homeland security spokeswoman, said in an email that Mr. Montes had not informed the agents who arrested him of his DACA status, but that even if he had, “he had violated the conditions of his status by breaking continuous residency in the United States by leaving and then re-entering the U.S. illegally.”​

So not only was he lying, his leaving invalidated his DACA contract.

No. The claim is "cognitively impaired", it does not state in what regard or by how much.

If you prefer, the claim in USA TODAY is that it is a "learning disability". One that apparently only had a marginal effect as he was still able to keep up in school.

He suffered a traumatic brain injury as a child that left him with learning disabilities that meant a constant struggle to keep up in school and everyday conversations, according to Hincapié. Despite those challenges, he made it through special education courses and graduated high school in 2013. He started taking welding classes at a Southern California community college and paid for it by picking crops in California and Arizona.

What is apparent though is that he can function on his own, commit crime, violate probation and even freely leave the US and illegally reentering.
While those things certainly are bad judgement on his part, I doubt it qualifies as any significant impairment or a mental handicap.
So this claim of "cognitive impairment" or "learning disability" is really of no concern and is likely nothing more than a lawyerly tactic of exaggeration.
And heck, with his US education he is probably more advanced than his peers in his home country of Mexico.

He is a Mexican citizen and should be returned to his homeland.
 
I thought DACA was confirmed unconstitutional. Obama did not have the power to grant special immigration status to this kid.
