· KRGV (NBC 5)
Jose Contreras-Diaz, a DACA recipient from Edinburg, attended his first ICE check-in on Thursday, two weeks after his release 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 attending these check-ins, stating, "We got to play the game." He has sued the government regarding his deportation and was later detained again before being released. A spokesperson from the Department of Homeland Security reiterated that DACA does not provide legal status, and Contreras-Diaz remains under an order of supervision requiring ICE check-ins.
