TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – According to advocates, Tucson DACA recipient Karla Toledo is facing deportation proceedings.<\/p>\n

Common Defense<\/b><\/u><\/i> told 13 News that it will host an \u201cemergency community response\u201d for Toledo at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 17. The event will be on the Congress Street footbridge in downtown Tucson.<\/p>\n

Some of the other people and organizations set to attend are: Toledo, Veterans Against Mass Deportation, Tucson Anti-War Committee, Tucson Education Association TEA, educators, labor leaders, veterans, and community members.<\/p>\n

Toledo made national news in May, when she was detained by ICE at her Tucson home. The arrest led to several lawmakers speaking out and community organizations hosting rallies.<\/p>\n

Her immigration court hearing was cancelled on June 3<\/b><\/u><\/i> after the Department of Homeland Security filed a motion to dismiss her removal proceedings. <\/p>\n

But immigration attorney Mo Goldman told 13 News at the time that the dismissal meant Toledo was protected from deportation under DACA, but that her fight is far from over.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy, I\u2019m cautiously optimistic with what we\u2019re seeing from the government these days because I can\u2019t 100% trust that this case is completed,\u201d Goldman said.<\/p>\n

He said the motion was filed without prejudice, which means the government could refile it later. Also, Toledo\u2019s DACA status is set to expire in July anyway. <\/p>\n

Toledo has already submitted a new application to renew her DACA status, but Toledo\u2019s application would need to be approved before her current application expires, which Goldman does not expect to happen. <\/p>\n

\u201cBeing without status can put you in a lot of danger. Look, I had status, I had a DACA, and look what it put me into. So now, without it, it can be more dangerous,\u201d Toledo said.<\/p>\n

Goldman said DACA renewals have slowed under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not confident, number one, that it\u2019ll be renewed before the deadline in July, but I\u2019m also not confident that this administration and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service is going to do the right thing and process applications like hers,\u201d Goldman said.<\/p>\n

He said he worries Toledo will join tens of thousands of others in limbo.<\/p>\n

Toledo said she is preparing for the worst but hoping for the best.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just have to prepare, and prepare and prepare, and have all the documentation, have a lawyer at hand \u2014 I\u2019m very blessed with mine, so yeah, definitely, be prepared,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Goldman said he will continue fighting for Toledo and advocating for other DACA recipients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to come up with some sort of solution to not only her problem, but the hundreds of thousands of other people in the same predicament,\u201d Goldman said.<\/p>\n

Rep. Adelita Grijalva released a statement following the announcement that the charges were dropped.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I am very happy for Karla and her family, they should have never had to go through this incredibly traumatic ordeal. No one should have the sanctity of their home violated by masked agents storming in without a judicial warrant. ICE must be held accountable for their actions, as well as for their smear campaign against Karla following her detainment.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cKarla\u2019s case underscores the cruelty of this administration\u2019s mass deportation agenda, which is now targeting DACA recipients. She has lived in this country since she was one year old and has dedicated herself to serving our community \u2013 helping recruit healthcare workers, serving on local boards, and volunteering her time to improve the place she calls home. We should be providing DREAMers like Karla with a clear pathway to citizenship. Instead, this administration is terrorizing our communities, separating families, and targeting people who have spent their lives contributing to the only country they have ever called home.\u201d<\/i> <\/p>\n
