Seattle Immigrant Detained By Federal Authorities In Tacoma

(Seattle, WA)  --  A man who was brought to the U.S. illegally as a child but was protected from deportation by the Obama administration is now in custody in a federal detention center in Tacoma.  Federal authorities say 23-year-old Daniel Ramirez Medina was detained Friday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.  Medina was brought to this country when he was seven-years-old and has a work permit under President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.  Attorneys for Ramirez have reportedly filed a petition in federal court, asking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and new Secretary John Kelly for Ramirez to be released.
