Don’t Cry for Me Argentina

Patrick Dollard calls this the “feel good story of the day”:

A 22-year-old who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials early Wednesday, moments after giving a speech at an immigration press conference, will be deported without a hearing, according to her lawyer.
Daniela Vargas spoke at a press conference in front of city hall in Jackson, Miss., and was driving away with a friend when ICE officials pulled them over and detained her, her lawyer said, according to The Associated Press.
Vargas’s attorney said ICE agents told her Thursday she would be immediately deported, rather than being offered a court hearing or bond, according to The Huffington Post.

Vargas “came to the U.S. from Argentina when she was 7 years old [and] previously had a work permit and deportation reprieve under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA,” the Huffington Post reports. However, her visa expired in November, and now . . . Hasta la vista, baby!
