· KRGV (NBC 5)
Jose Contreras-Diaz, a DACA recipient from Edinburg, attended his first ICE check-in on Thursday, two weeks after being released from custody. Originally from Honduras, he was deported in January after attempting to reschedule an appointment at an ICE office. Contreras-Diaz emphasized the importance of showing up for check-ins, stating, "We got to play the game." He previously sued the government after his deportation and was later detained again in Harlingen. A DHS spokesperson clarified that DACA does not provide legal status, and Contreras-Diaz faces a final order of removal from the U.S.
