Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was arrested on Sunday. ICE won’t release her despite extensive documentation of her citizenship, her attorneys told HuffPost.
A Maryland woman has spent days in immigration detention despite being a U.S. citizen with a valid birth certificate and other documentation — documents ICE claims aren’t authentic, her attorneys told HuffPost Thursday.
Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales, 22, was born in Maryland and spent time in Mexico before coming back to the United States, Victoria Slatton, one of the attorneys working on her case, told HuffPost in a phone call Thursday. Slatton has worked to draw attention to Diaz Morales’ case, including in several TikTok videos.
Shirley Elvirita, Diaz Morales’ 17-year-old sister, told HuffPost over the phone Thursday night that she, her sister and their father were doing laundry in Baltimore on Sunday, and afterwards, the sisters went to pick up some Taco Bell. After getting back on the road, Shirley recalled, they were surrounded by several vehicles filled with law enforcement personnel, who pulled them over. Officers ignored Shirley’s questions and took her sister “forcefully” into one of the vans. They told Shirley they would let her go – but not her sister.
Can I inform you that you’re acting like an asshole and nobody is going to listen to what you have to say if you deliver it that way?

As both a trans woman and a Hispanic person I can tell you, I’m scared too. This IS the fault of trump voters but abstaining or third party voting made it worse. Is it the main cause? The main problem? No, but swallowing a bitter pill would have maybe saved us some of the pain and fear. I live in texas and I refuse to run, I’ll stay here and fight bitterly and hold my nose while making incremental change.
“How come other people didn’t put more effort into getting me to to vote for the obviously better choice?” Ffs, you are responsible for your own vote.
If you didn’t suck it up and vote for Kamala, yes, I think you are more to blame for Trump than a person who did vote for her. It sounds to me like you are a protest non voter that is having trouble accepting the consequences of their actions and lashing out at people that did vote because they “didn’t do more”, which is wildly hypocritical. We don’t all have time in our lives for activism, voting is most of what a normal person has access to to affect change.
