By Cristina Marcos - 01/30/18 02:06 PM EST
Conservative Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) is calling for the arrests of young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children, often called "Dreamers," who attend President Trump's first State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Dozens of Democrats and one centrist GOP lawmaker are bringing such immigrants, as their guests to the State of the Union amid debate in Congress over whether they should be allowed to stay in the country.
Gosar said he asked the Capitol Police and Attorney General Jeff Sessions to consider checking the identifications of everyone attending the State of the Union and arrest any undocumented immigrants they find.
Many of the young immigrants who are guests to Tuesday nights State of the Union are recipients of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which the Trump administration is rescinding.
Roughly 700,000 qualifying immigrants received temporary work permits through DACA. They are at risk of deportation unless Congress acts on a permanent fix or if Trump were to reinstate the program.

If you order someone to be arrested when you know they have DACA protection, you should be subject to suit under Section 1983.
