Source: Illegal Alien Accused of Murdering Boat Crew Mate Is a DACA Recipient

Breitbart: An illegal alien accused of murdering his boat crew mate and injuring two others aboard a fishing vessel off the coast of Massachusetts was allowed to stay in the country as a DACA recipient, a source told Breitbart News.

Franklin Freddy Meave Vazquez, 27, a Mexican national, reportedly entered the U.S. illegally in June 2001 near Brownsville, Texas, when he was ten years old, and qualified for deferred action under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program on November 30, 2013, the source said.

The Obama-era program defers deportation for two years for individuals brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents or guardians before the age of 16 that are not threats to national security.

Vazquez applied to renew his DACA status, which expired November 29, 2015. But immigration officials denied his request on August 16, 2016—nearly a year after the expiration of his DACA status.  read more
