The judge ruled in Xochitl’s favor and dismissed her deportation proceedings. This is a huge victory, but Xochitl is not home yet, and there remains a number of other DACA recipients who continue to be wrongfully detained.

ICE must release her & all DACA recipients!

Every day Xóchitl, a DACA recipient and community organizer, spends in detention is time she’ll never get back with her family.

She deserves freedom, dignity, and the right to stay in the only home she’s ever known.

We're joining the call to demand the immediate release of Xóchitl Santiago and all DACA recipients who continue to be wrongfully detained.

There is no legal reason for Xóchitl to be in detention, and she deserves to be reunited with her family and community. #FreeXochitl

Please support Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago’s GoFundMe page, she’s an immigrant rights defender here in El Paso. She was abducted by Border Patrol, despite having a valid DACA work authorization card, that’s supposed to protect her from deportation. ❤️‍🩹 #FreeXochitl #ElPaso #WitchSky

Text at bottom of image: Cata "Xótchil" Santiago, long-time immigrant rights organizer, was confronted by two Border Patrol agents the morning of Aug 3 and detained while boarding a domestic flight for work in El Paso. Despite presenting a valid DACA work authorization card offering proof of her protection from deportation in the U.S., Border Patrol abducted and detained her without a warrant or cause. #FreeXochitl Donate to legal fees and updates: bit.ly/freexoch Cata "Xótchil" Santiago, organizadora de derechos de inmigrantes por muchos años, fue cuestionada por dos agentes fronterizos la mañana del 3 de agosto y detenida en Camino a abordar un vuelo domestico en El Paso.

ICE is unlawfully detaining her despite her valid DACA. She’s a beloved immigrant rights organizer being targeted to silence our movement. Detention is deadly—she belongs home with her community NOW. #FreeXochitl

🕯️ Our beloved friend, Cata “Xóchitl” Santiago, was abducted by ICE on August 3rd and is still being held in detention in El Paso. We are devastated, and we are asking you to take action.
Yellow flyer with white, dotted, indigenous Latin American pattern with squarers crosses the background. Large all caps letters say FREE XÓCHITL in the middle. Xóchitl Santiago's yellow and black filtered photo is featured on the left, with a lacey black border and a white background with a black flower indigenous pattern. There is a black and yellow butterfly to the right of Xóch. There are hand-drawn-style black flowers emerging from the bottom border of the flyer. Black NAA logo is top left. Design with Xóchitl's photo continues. Text: Our beloved friend Cata “Xóchitl” Santiago was abducted by ICE on August 3 & is still being held in El Paso. We're devastated & asking you to take action. Xóchitl is being targeted by DHS because she is an organizer. She's dedicated her life to the movement for immigrant rights. Now DHS is trying to use her in a campaign of fear. They're trying to intimidate organizers & activists from protesting the rising attacks against immigrant communities Design with Xóchitl's photo continues. Text: The government is targeting Xóchitl even though she has DACA status which should protect her from deportation. They are trying to chip away at protections for all immigrants and to intimidate people into leaving this country their home. We must demand Xóchitl’s immediate release because we will not give into fear. Instead, we must be clear in our commitment to show up for our friends who have put their lives on the line to show up for their community Design with Xóchitl's photo continues. Text: Xóchitl was instrumental to Never Again Action’s formation as an organizer with Cosecha Boston in 2019. So many times, she showed up alongside our members, as we collectively demanded “never again para nadie (for no one)”. We must never leave our friends behind. Now, we must show up alongside Xóchitl in the fight for her personal freedom.
