US cites 'unauthorized travel' to end DACA status for a mother of 3 deported to Mexico
USCIS says Jessica Treviño’s DACA should end after her deportation, while her lawyer asks a federal judge to restore her status and bring her back.
Jessica Trevi, a DACA recipient, filed a federal lawsuit this week challenging her deportation to Mexico and seeking a court order to reinstate her Deferred Action status.
Last week, Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a notice of intent to terminate her status, citing "unauthorized travel outside of the United States" on March 25, 2026, the date of her deportation by the Department of Homeland Security.
Arrested in a South Texas Home Depot parking lot in December, Trevi and her husband were deported; their three United States citizen children remain with family near the border.
Attorney David Rozas argues the government had "no lawful basis" for her removal, while FWD President Todd Schulte described the case as a "deliberate, systematic effort to destroy DACA."
The Trump administration has deported 86 DACA recipients and arrested 241 others, according to a DHS letter sent in February to Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois.
