Being in the country illegally is a civil violation, not a criminal one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump made the deportation of undocumented immigrants a key point of his campaign platform, and has put into place a number of executive orders that change immigrants\u2019 legal statuses to fulfill that promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boechat Amaral and state Sen. Jamie Eldridge, who represents the area, described how ICE pulled over Dos Santos Amaral, and asked for his ID. Boechat Amaral called the traffic stop \u201crandom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey said they were looking for someone who looked like him,\u201d she said. She added that even though Amaral wasn\u2019t the individual they were seeking, agents reviewed his name and discovered he overstayed his visa, then took him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
