Maryland woman who says she is US citizen finally released from ICE custody

Dulce Consuelo Díaz Morales was held for 25 days even after attorneys said they presented ICE with US birth certificate

A Maryland woman has been released and reunited with her family after spending 25 days in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody – despite her attorneys saying documentation showed she was born in the US and therefore is a citizen.

Dulce Consuelo Díaz Morales and her legal team maintain she was born in the US and possess records supporting that claim. ICE, however, had disputed this, asserting she is a Mexican citizen who entered the US unlawfully.
