DACA Mom Locked Up Over Theft Charges

A DACA recipient locked up in immigration detention is fighting for her freedom as her lawmaker ally demands she be released to face court—not deported. Jessica Corrales-Duarte, a 29-year-old mom of two, faces felony shoplifting charges worth nearly $5,500, despite her attorney claiming no prior record. While her lawyer and Rep. Adelita Grijalva argue she deserves due process and fear deportation before trial, ICE says she was arrested after her DACA status ended and that she has no legal right to stay. The case mirrors a similar one involving Karla Toledo, underscoring the tangled legal battles DACA recipients face under current immigration enforcement.
