Washington-Ximena Arias-Cristobal knows the risks that drive as a person without legal approval, in which a uncomplicated traffic stop could lead to being deported.
This fear made itself last month when the local police in Dalton, Georgia, was stopped due to improper turn in a red airy. Instead of a traffic tick, the 19-year-old was arrested in the Stewart detention Center for almost three weeks, she said on Tuesday at a virtual event.
“Although my time was short there … the emotional weight is overwhelming,” said Arias-Cristobal during a conversation that is organized against the immigration of the Trump management against students without legal approval and international students against the immigration of the Trump administration.
“This is not only an immigration problem, but also a human rights problem,” said Arias-Cristobal.
She and her parents arrived from Mexico to the United States without legal permission when Arias-Cristobal was 4 years elderly. Her father was in the car with her last month and was also arrested in the Stewart detention center, she said. He has been released since then.
“What influenced me the most was the transmission itself, which was tied up at the waist and ankles,” said Arias-Cristobal, to be transferred to the Stewart detention center by immigration and customs authorities.
Arias-Cristobal is entitled to apply for deportation protection as part of the postponed measures for arrivals in childhood or the DACA directive. Daca allows some people who were brought into the country as children without legal approval to maintain a leadership and work permit and to remain in the country under certain conditions.
However, the agency, which issues such protective measures, US citizenship and immigration services, has hired the acceptance of applications in 2021 as part of a court procedure for Republican state officials who questioned Daca’s legality.
The case is still pending and is likely to go to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Arias-Cristobal is now deported to Mexico when she tries to complete her university education on Dalton State College, where she studies economy and finance.
Effects on university formation
Gaby Pacheco, President and CEO of Advocacy Group Thedream.us, said that cases like Arias-Cristobals are becoming increasingly common under the second Trump government and that “dreamer is attacked”.
The group of Pachecos offers teenage immigrants without legal status scholarships, including Arias-Cristobal, to complete a university formation.
She said that Daca recipients were not captured in deportations, “we heard of the people held and surveyed by ice agents.
“The measure of cruelty, inhumanity and lawlessness that we see from the Department of Homeland Security … is completely alarming,” said Pacheco.
This type of immigration enforcement has influenced university formationSaid Miriam Feldblum, the President of the Presidents’ Alliance for University Bilding and Immigration, which is committed to international students and students without attending adequate legal authority for college.
The Department of Homeland Security informed Harvard University in the past month that it had revoked the ability of the Ivy League School to accept international students. A federal court temporarily blocked the move, while the case is pending.
“This will affect our registration in US institutions directly,” she said about the attitude of the Trump government, to limit how many international students can attend university education.
Feldblum said that these costs because international students pay the full tuition fees, often subsidize scholarships for US students.
