Undocumented migrant taunts Trump with her status at Hands Off rally
Share and Follow

During a rally in Washington DC, an activist against Trump shocked the crowd of over 10,000 by declaring she is ‘undocumented and unafraid,’ leading to calls for her deportation from the US.

Greisa Martinez Rosas took the stage at a Hands Off! event where she disclosed her immigration status and shared personal details with the audience.

‘I am an immigrant, I am undocumented, unafraid, queer and unashamed,’ she told the crowd.

Her shocking admission has sparked fury online as critics and MAGA supporters demand she is tracked down and deported.

Some critics responded by suggesting that she should be deported, with one even sarcastically noting that the only information she omitted was her home address, which they believed could easily be found by immigration authorities.

Trump’s border czar Tom Homan is being inundated with social media tags in an effort to alert him to Rosas’ comments and get her deported.

‘Please deport Greisa Martinez Rosas. This will teach people to immigrate to the United States the legal way,’ one person wrote in a message directly to Homan.

Another person online wrote: ‘Imagine the audacity being in a country illegally and thinking you have the right to protest against the administration in this country… absolutely insane.’ 

While a fifth user said: ‘ICE is on its way.’ 

Rosas arrived in the United States from Hidalgo, Mexico, when she was just a child and was raised in Dallas.

She is the executive director of United We Dream, a youth immigrant organization with more than 400,000 members.

Rosas has long been an activist and agitator, leading student walk-outs in Texas back in 2006 and supporting pro-immigration policies both locally and nationally for a decade.

She is a DACA recipient, meaning that while she is technically undocumented, she has been afforded certain protections under the policy.

As part of her DACA status, she has a work permit, which must be renewed every two years.

Her father was deported after he was caught driving without a license and died last year, and her mother died in 2018. 

Rosas proudly campaigns for many liberal ideals on her social media – and has previously written opinion pieces for the New York Times.  

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy grants some children who arrived in the United States illegally a series of protections.

As a DACA recipient, there is no pathway to citizenship and protections offered are temporary and can be revoked by the Department of Homeland Security. 

Rosas’ announcement was delivered at the Washington Hands Off! rally as protesters marched at simultaneous protests nationwide.

These demonstrations were organized for 1,200 locations in all 50 states by more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists.

Thousands of protesters in cities dotting the nation from Midtown Manhattan to Anchorage, Alaska, including at multiple state capitols, slammed Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s actions on government downsizing, the economy, immigration and human rights.

ICE has been routinely deporting students and agitators who are known to protest, highlighting that even foreign immigrants on visas don’t have immunity.

There is overwhelming bipartisan support to deport people who are in the U.S. illegally and have been convicted of a violent crime, with 82 percent in favor. 

Trump and top aides repeatedly emphasize they are deporting criminals. But, as Homan often says, others in the country illegally who are there when officers arrest criminals also will be deported, a departure from the Biden administration’s practices.

ICE says it made 32,809 arrests in Trump’s first 50 days in office, or a daily average of 656, which compared with a daily average of 311 during a 12-month period ending September 30.

ICE said nearly half (14,111) were convicted criminals and nearly one-third (9,980) had pending criminal charges but did not specify the charges.
