US EditionFederal Judge Orders Release of DACA Recipient, Activist
A federal judge ruled ICE must release Santiago by Thursday, highlighting that over 500,000 DACA recipients have protections despite recent detentions.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone ordered Catalina `Xochitl` Santiago's release no later than Thursday, Oct. 2, after finding her detention unconstitutional.
- Authorities cited a 2020 Arizona arrest to justify detention, though many charges were dismissed; an immigration judge terminated deportation but the government appealed and ICE kept Catalina `Xochitl` Santiago detained despite her seven DACA renewals.
- The judge noted the government's sole interest was removal despite inexecutible deportation under DACA, while supporters praised the court's reasoned opinion after Santiago's detention sparked protests.
- Santiago's release follows another recent local win, as Catalina `Xochitl` Santiago is the second El Paso-area DACA recipient ordered released, but effects on other federal DACA cases remain unclear.
- More than 500,000 DACA-enrolled immigrants face detention risks, with 20 currently detained as the Trump administration prioritizes cracking down and dismantling the program, advocates warn.
