DREAMer Drops Lawsuit Aginst Trump Administration

The first "DREAMer" to claim he was deported despite having protected status is dropping his lawsuit against the Trump administration to come back to the U.S.  DACA recipient Juan Manuel Montes says he was forcibly returned to Mexico by Customs and Border Protection agents in February, a claim the Trump administration has disputed.  Montes is the only DREAMer claiming to be wrongly deported under Trump.  On Wednesday Montes' attorneys filed a notice with a federal judge in San Diego saying he has decided to drop the case and stay in Mexico.  

There is no word on why Montes decided to not move forward with the  case.  His family left Mexico to come to the U.S. when he was  nine-year-old.
