Jose Contreras-Diaz, a DACA recipient from Edinburg, attended his first ICE check-in on Thursday after being released from custody two weeks ago. Originally from Honduras, he was deported in January but returned to the U.S. after a legal battle. Contreras-Diaz emphasized the importance of attending ICE check-ins, stating, "We show up to the fight." Despite his DACA status, a Homeland Security spokesperson clarified that it does not provide legal status, and he remains under a final order of removal. He was released under supervision and is required to continue check-ins with ICE.
