Carlos Martinez, a DACA recipient, is being held in detention after crossing into Mexico and then returning without the proper permit.

Carlos Martínez, a Tucsonan who was one of the first people to obtain DACA protection in 2012, lost his immigration status and is being detained in Eloy after he crossed into Mexico and attempted to return to the United States almost immediately in early August.

“It was a moment of frustration,” said his mother Sylvia Baldenegro. “He was desperate.”

Baldenegro said her son, a 37-year-old University of Arizona graduate, has been frustrated and felt desperate in recent years due to unemployment and the impossibility of freely traveling between the two countries.

He was "frustrated and desperate" because he knew freely crossing the border was "impossible?"  So he knew he was sacrificing his DACA status.  Eff 'im.
