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.
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
I disagree. This is what protest-non-voters failed to vote against.
Saying that they voted for this is implying that it is what they wanted. It is not the same thing as not carefully considering the potential outcomes. I agree that they bear some responsibility for what’s happening because of their failure to engage in the best course of action to prevent it. I do also think it is very much an inaccurate statement to say that it is what they voted for.
Put simply, intent matters. It doesn’t matter if the material outcome is the same.
something tells me dulce consuela diaz morales wouldn’t give a shit about their intents.
trust me, the history books will not care about anyone’s intents either, just the material outcome they enabled.
You’re folding yourself into pretzels trying to reword this.
I’m not rewording anything. I’m stating a disagreement with your wording which I think implies intent where there may be none.
Sigh. Since you really need it: You’re twisting yourself into pretzels trying to get out of the message.
And what you think is implied (in both instances) is not.
DNC shot themselves in the face, no one liked the former VP. We could have Bernie Sanders and win by a landslide if the DNC didn’t put him under the bus
This is like blaming a school shooting victim for being in the hallway instead of in their classroom.
Yeah, it would’ve helped. Yeah, they should’ve been where they’re supposed to be. None of that is the real issue, and it’s insulting to bring it up in the context of the shooting.
And I think we’re back to: See article and this is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
You see i did vote blue so this doesnt include me, but logically, you could make the exact opposite argument. This is what the DNC wanted by not courting people who clearly defined what it would have taken to get their vote. I dont agree with the protest voters actions, but i do agree with their principles.
But you can’t control the DNC. You can control you. So do what you can, vote. But also, don’t stop at voting. The only way the DNC moves is if we push them. Or we grassroots and build the viable infrastructure for a third party. Or we burn everything down and start from scratch. But whatever else we are doing, we can also vote. So yes, you’re right about what the DNC should have done, but we can only influence them, we are not them. But we are responsible for our own autonomy. So fucking vote, and vote correctly, not cutely.
So you’re happy with trump being potus and think he’s better than Harris would have been?
Hey man, dont judge me, i had to make absolutely no impact on a situation halfway across the world while making my own country much worse.
I think youll find i did a great job.

I’m just informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.

See? You’re on “responsiblity”, while I am informing. So, cheers.

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?

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.
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.
What do you mean by this? Innocent of what?
Apparently they meant we didn’t do enough to convince others. Here I thought they meant we all share blame because we “consent” to being governed in this manner.

Blaming voters is such a weak stance, its always just comes down to personal grievances. Your vote blaming logic could be applied to anyone.
This is what you voted for, Barack Obama voters! His tepid implementation of DACA left this poor girl with very few legal protections!
This is what you voted for, Joe Biden voters! Biden could have defunded ICE, instead he gave them billions!
This is what you voted for, Chester A Arthur voters! Your implementation of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was inevitably going to lead to this!
I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
Yea and I’m informing Chester A Arthur voters about what they voted for lol
The difference is that Arthur voters have more blame on their shoulders, because they actually changed the outcome of an election, unlike “protest non-voters”.
I’m certain that I saw an article on here recently saying the exact opposite of this, but I can’t find it. I’ll look through my comment history maybe to try to find it
Edit: found it

Oops, looks like you’re gonna have to start lying to yourself if you want to continue pretending that you’re not partially responsible for what is happening in this country right now
Your TNR article correctly asserts that Dems lost because they failed to motivate their base. It is explaining how the Democratic Party’s policies on the economy and immigration had a strong negative effect on voter turnout.
It says nothing about protest voters, and only a passing mention of Gaza. I was under the impression that “protest non voters” referred explicitly to those voters who concerned themselves with the genocide in Palestine.
If you expand the scope of “protest non voters” to include those who didn’t vote due to the economy or immigration policy, then I agree with you completely.
Yes, that’s the reason people give for why they didn’t vote. No shit.
Still their fault.
Your whole spiel was that I was blaming. Now you turn a 180 when I point out that I am informing. Well kinda, because you’re right back to blame. So cheers.
Well I’m honestly curious what your intention is when you “inform” these non voters of their mistake.
Is it all about emotional release? Or do you honestly believe that you can shame these voters into voting correctly next time?
Why is your focus on this tiny subset of voters, and not focused on Trump voters?
From my standpoint, you’re just doing more damage to the already fractured Democratic Party base. Damaging the Democratic Party is helping Trump win a third term.
I can only speak for myself, but for me it comes from the frustration of arguing with these people over and over before the election, trying to explain why it’s a terrible idea, and then having to live through the past year and seeing them still refuse to accept it.
So it’s all about emotional release, at least you’re honest.
Do you agree that this type of rhetoric is divisive; fracturing the Dem party; and ultimately helping Trump and MAGA?
“aT LeASt I dIdNT vOtE FOr geNoCIdE!”
Looks like that solved that problem. Hey Gaza, how’s it going over there!?
