Dulce Consuelo Díaz Morales, a US citizen born in Maryland, is released after 25 days in ICE custody, highlighting the dangers of the aggressive deportation dragnet.

It is every American’s nightmare: being locked up in your own country, accused of being a foreigner, with your birth certificate ignored. For Dulce Consuelo Díaz Morales, 22, that nightmare lasted 25 days.
Díaz Morales walked out of a detention center in New Jersey on Wednesday, reuniting with her son after a harrowing ordeal that began with a taco run in Baltimore. Despite her lawyers presenting a Maryland birth certificate and hospital records complete with her infant footprints, ICE maintained she was a Mexican national.
The case exposes the terrifying reach of the current immigration crackdown. ICE agents arrested her on December 14, ignoring her protests of citizenship. She was shuffled through five detention centers across three states, effectively lost in the system.
