President Donald Trump's government is moving forward with its new deportation plan, including 'Dreamers' protected with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

Such is the case of Jessica Treviño, a DACA beneficiary originally from Alamo, Texas, whose protection is valid until April 2027, but she was detained on December 28, 2025 and deported to Mexico on March 25, 2026.

The information revealed by the organizations Fwd.us and the Unión del Pueblo Entero (LUPE) indicates that Treviño was separated from her three American children, ages 16, 14 and 13, who are currently in the care of a relative.

“The Department of Homeland Security could not expel her from the United States while she was covered by DACA,” explained Stacy Tolchin, Treviño's lawyer. “What happened to Jessica was illegal, and the government has acknowledged this in the past in other cases where it has repatriated other DACA recipients who were also illegally deported.”

Defense and civil organizations ask the Trump administration to facilitate the return of the 'Dreamer' who has followed the rules imposed by the DACA program, including renewal and security reviews.

According to the case, a judge granted her voluntary departure, but said order could not be legally executed while she had a valid DACA status, despite this, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained her for months and then deported her.

“The administration must take all necessary steps to immediately return Jessica to the United States and be reunited with her children,” said Todd Schulte, president of FWD.us. “DACA provides protection from deportation, and the administration deceived her by telling her that her status had expired when it had not, in order to illegally deport her.”

The request regarding Treviño includes facilitating her return and preventing her from being detained once she sets foot on US soil, according to information shared by the organizations.

Jessica's case follows a new pattern of the second Trump administration, which includes detaining 'Dreamers' protected by the program created by former President Barack Obama, but now with arguments from the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) that point out that DACA is not a sufficient argument to prevent the arrest of immigrants and process them for deportation.

The arrest figures vary, but range from 260 to more than 300 people detained, despite having DACA, of whom at least 90 have been deported.

For civil organizations “this represents the systematic dismantling of a policy that currently protects almost 530,000 people.” In his first term in office, Trump tried unsuccessfully to end DACA, but now he is pursuing a new tactic.

"It is incredibly painful and unacceptable that we are once again fighting to bring home another LUPE member and DACA recipient. The detention and deportation of Jessica Treviño is part of a broader pattern of attacks against our community, especially in South Texas, where many DACA recipients live and contribute daily," lamented Tania Chávez Camacho, Executive Director of LUPE.

Civil organizations ask Congress to act to approve permanent protection for 'Dreamers', who contribute about $76 billion annually to the US economy through their salaries and pay almost $24 billion a year in federal and state taxes, according to data from Fwd.us.
