· KRGV (NBC 5)
State Representative Armando Martinez held a press conference outside the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville, advocating for the release of Yenniffer England, a DACA recipient and registered nurse’s assistant. England was detained following a traffic stop on February 16 due to a suspended license. Martinez emphasized that minor infractions should not lead to arrest, especially for someone compliant with DACA requirements. He plans to meet with the Texas Department of Public Safety to address these issues. England is currently in ICE custody, with immigration hearings scheduled for May 19.
