Deportations
The Criminal Alien Deportation Act would allow the Department of Homeland Security to deport arrested undocumented immigrants before their case reaches a judge.
Policies enacted in January target undocumented immigrants who are either convicted criminals, terrorist threats, or have no history in the United States after January 2014.
Rallies stretched from Los Angeles to New York City on Tuesday as pro-immigration reform protestors marched in support of DAPA, President Obama's executive action that would have taken effect May 19.
Last March, the President of the United States, Barack Obama, announced that he would revise the deportation policies of the county, and the announcement caused discomfort among the more conservative Republicans which oppose the approval of immigration reform, but, it might also serve as a precedent for Democrats to capitalize again on the Latino vote, facing the 2016 presidential elections.
The record number of deportations that the Obama administration has reached in recent years has earned the President numerous criticisms, who was thought to be one of the main promoters of long awaited immigration reform, which is still stuck in the House of Representatives.
