The news conference was hosted by local immigration attorneys, churches and the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance to bring attention to families impacted by deportation.

Vargas was 7 years old when her family came to America from Argentina, placing her under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, immigration policy. Under the policy, DACA recipients have to reapply every two years. Vargas' DACA is expired but her renewal application is pending.

Vargas told the crowd, despite her father and brother likely being deported, she still hoped to live and work in America.

As a friend drove Vargas away from the news conference, their vehicle was pulled over by ICE agents, Peterson said.

ICE is getting bolder by the day.
