The immigrant advocates are protesting against the officials for the detention of a mother who was arrested and put into the deportation proceedings after making a regularly scheduled check-in by the immigration officials.

As per the advocacy group CASA, 30-year-old Liliana Cruz Mendez of the Falls Church was arrested on Thursday after going with her lawyer to a check-in appointment at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement regional headquarters in Fairfax.

CASA spokeswoman Fernanda Durand said that Cruz Mendez has no criminal record and came to the U.S. from El Salvador a decade ago. She came to the officials attention in the year 2013 after being stopped for a broken taillight.

CASA said that her case is emblematic of the harsh stance which the immigration authorities are taking under the Trump administration.

ICE spokeswoman Carissa Cutrell also said that Cruz Mendez received two deferrals from deportation in the years 2014 and 2015.
