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.

    Every single person who was involved in defying the judges order should be prosecuted and imprisoned for kidnapping, and more. “Mistakes” like this should carry severe, harsh punishment. Maybe when MAGA operatives start getting sentenced to 25 years to Life, they’ll pause and consider the consequences of their actions.

      Make them then. The whole world is watching. Your government has done more atrocious awful shit than this, over the decades, with pride, without consequences.

      Prove us wrong. I dare you.

      Claiming they’ll get the “Nuremberg treatment”, guillotines or jail time online does jack shit and is starting to look like “old man screams at the clouds” meme.

        If anything is going to change, that’s down to those of us who are actually under the jackboot. You’re not in the US. What the hell good is taunting by a non-participant? To give yourself a false sense of superiority?
