Valley state representative calls for DACA recipient release at detention center
· KRGV (NBC 5)
State Representative Armando Martinez gathered outside the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville on Tuesday to advocate for the release of Yenniffer England, a DACA recipient and registered nurse’s assistant. England was detained following a traffic stop on February 16, where it was discovered she was driving with 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's immigration hearings are scheduled for Wednesday and May 19, while she remains in ICE custody.
