Standing in Support of Our DREAMers

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) issued the following statement after 19 year-old Josue Romero was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in San Antonio:

"After conferring with his father and his attorney, I have tonight made a formal request to ICE in Washington for Josue's immediate release. While its new policies may increasingly endanger millions of undocumented immigrants, the Trump Administration has not yet revoked DACA. ICE must not revoke DACA on a case-by-case basis. Josue is a student in good standing who is charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. He poses no threat to our national security or public safety. The only threat posed is to Josue's personal safety if ICE deports him to Honduras, a dangerous country which he has never known as home. I hope other members of our community will join in voicing their strong support for Josue."
