He paid a fee to register with the government, underwent an extensive background check and was granted a work permit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"dvbj0C7aLAzvSgzWXHiSGJNVcRwbiqFK\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 5, 2016, his DACA status was renewed a second time. The renewal stated, \"Unless terminated, this decision to defer removal action will remain in effect for 2 years from the date of this notice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramirez's lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, of which ICE is a part, was filed on Monday. The complaint alleges Ramirez was asleep at his father's home in Seattle when agents arrived with an arrest warrant for the father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3462084-Ramirez-Complaint.html\">the complaint\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Following his arrest, Mr. Ramirez's father granted the ICE officers permission to enter his home so that he could inform his two sons about his arrest. When the ICE agents entered the home, they asked Mr. Ramirez, 'Are you legally here?' Mr. Ramirez replied, 'Yes, I have a work permit.' On the recommendation of his brother (a DACA recipient who was also then present), Mr. Ramirez declined to answer additional questions at that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"...The ICE agents then took Mr. Ramirez to a processing center in Seattle, Washington. When he again informed them about his work permit, one of the ICE agents stated: 'It doesn't matter, because you weren't born in this country.' At this point, the ICE agents had Mr. Ramirez's wallet, which contained his work permit, which clearly identified him as a DACA recipient with a 'C-33' code, which reflects a work authorization issued pursuant to DACA. Despite this fact, Mr. Ramirez was questioned further, fingerprinted, booked, and taken to a detention center in Tacoma, Washington.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Attorneys for Ramirez, whose own child is an American citizen, claim his detention without probable cause violates his Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE spokeswoman Rose Richeson said Ramirez is a \"self-admitted gang member,\" NPR's Hansi Lo Wang reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramirez's attorney, Ethan Dettmer, said his client \"unequivocally denies\" that assertion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While in custody, he was repeatedly pressured by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to falsely admit gang affiliation.

When the ICE agents entered the home, they asked Mr. Ramirez, 'Are you legally here?' Mr. Ramirez replied, 'Yes, I have a work permit.' On the recommendation of his brother (a DACA recipient who was also then present), Mr. Ramirez declined to answer additional questions at that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"...The ICE agents then took Mr. Ramirez to a processing center in Seattle, Washington. When he again informed them about his work permit, one of the ICE agents stated: 'It doesn't matter, because you weren't born in this country.' At this point, the ICE agents had Mr. Ramirez's wallet, which contained his work permit, which clearly identified him as a DACA recipient with a 'C-33' code, which reflects a work authorization issued pursuant to DACA. Despite this fact, Mr. Ramirez was questioned further, fingerprinted, booked, and taken to a detention center in Tacoma, Washington.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Attorneys for Ramirez, whose own child is an American citizen, claim his detention without probable cause violates his Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE spokeswoman Rose Richeson said Ramirez is a \"self-admitted gang member,\" NPR's Hansi Lo Wang reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramirez's attorney, Ethan Dettmer, said his client \"unequivocally denies\" that assertion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While in custody, he was repeatedly pressured by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to falsely admit gang affiliation.
