Daniel Ramirez Medina was apprehended Friday at his father's house.

一名小时候即被家长非法带来美国的墨西哥裔移民，上周被移民局探员逮捕；他可能成为首名被川普政府逮捕的“梦想生”(Dreamers)。

路透14日报导，23岁的拉米瑞兹(Daniel Ramirez)上周在他的西雅图家中被美国移民及海关执法局(USICE)探员逮捕。美联社报导，探员到他家中，原目标是拉米瑞兹的父亲，可能是“被递解出境又再入境”的“刑事犯”。

拉米瑞兹的律师14日在联邦法院出庭时力辩，拉米瑞兹完全符合“梦想生”的条件，合法在美国生活与工作，受到宪法保障。而这次逮捕完全违反他的宪法保障的权益。

据USICE发言人萝丝．芮奇森(Rose Richeson)在声明中指，当时探员盘问拉米瑞兹时，他对探员称“他曾是帮派分子”。根据这些问话，探员拘捕七岁被家长带来美国的拉米瑞兹，理由是“对公众有危险”。

拉米瑞兹目前仍被拘押在西雅图附近的塔柯玛(Tacoma)的西北移民拘留中心。报导说，拉米瑞兹他没有犯罪前科、有工作许可，还有一子。

西雅图联邦地方法院文件显示，拉米瑞兹持有工作证，受到前总统欧巴马于2012年起推行的“延后遣返计画”(DACA)的保护。

拉米瑞兹的律师罗森邦(Mark Rosebaum)说，拉米瑞兹全否认他曾是帮派成员，USICE的声明“不正确”。而且在拘押时，“ICE探员不停压迫他承认与帮派有关”。逮捕他的联邦探员没有说明逮捕原因，只对他说，他不是美国出生的。

西雅图联邦检察官办公室发言人艾茉莉．兰利(Emily Langley)表示，全案刚进入程序，难以置评。

法院文件又显示，他曾经两次获得延后遣返。获准暂延遣返者被称为“梦想生”，他们可获临时工作证，最终还可得到当局协助，取得合法身分。全美约有75万名梦想生。

(CNN)Tensions over immigration policies boiled up in Washington state Tuesday after the detention of a 23-year-old man, whose lawyers say is being unlawfully held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials despite the fact that he was authorized to remain in the country under a program established by the Obama administration.

The man, Daniel Ramirez Medina, has twice been granted deferred action and employment authorization under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, his lawyers said. The program, announced in 2012, is meant to temporarily shield qualified individuals from deportation.

His lawyers have filed suit in federal court in Washington state arguing he is being "presently detained without justification" and he presents "no threat to national security or public safety."

An ICE spokesperson, however, offered a different account Tuesday night.

ICE said Ramirez was taken into custody "based on his admitted gang affiliation and risk to public safety."
Rose Richeson, an ICE spokesperson, said, "Mr. Ramirez — a self-admitted gang member — was encountered at a residence in Des Moines, Washington, during an operation targeting a prior-deported felon. He was arrested February 10 by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and transferred to the Northwest Detention Center to await the outcome of removal proceedings before an immigration judge with the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review."

The conflicting stories come amid immigrant rights attorneys' fears the Trump administration will target the so called "Dreamers," who were temporarily authorized under the Obama administration's program and allowed to live and work in the United States after passing background checks.

Mark Rosenbaum, counsel for Ramirez, issued the following statement: "Mr. Ramirez unequivocally denies being in a gang. While in custody, he was repeatedly pressured by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to falsely admit affiliation. The statement issued tonight by Ms. Richeson of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is inaccurate."

According to the court papers filed by Ramirez's attorney, ICE agents arrived Friday at Ramirez's father's house. The agents had an arrest warrant for the father. The papers allege the ICE officials asked if Ramirez was in the state legally and he responded that he was.
