Woman renewing DACA status arrested by ICE after speaking at immigration press conference by on Mar 1, 2017, 5:13 PM Advertisement
 A young woman in the process of renewing her legal status to stay in the country has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Twenty-two-year-old Daniela Vargas had just spoken Wednesday at an immigration press conference in front of Jackson City Hall in Mississippi. Her attorney says a friend was driving Vargas from the press conference when ICE officials pulled them over on the freeway and detained Vargas. Her attorney, Nathan Elmore, says that Vargas' earlier Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status had just expired and that his firm had already filed to renew it. DACA immigrants are people who were brought to the country by their parents when they were young children — often referred to as "Dreamers." California Senator Kamala Harris tweeted the following of Vargas' detention: SEE ALSO: Canada and US to work together cracking down on people crossing the border illegally
