A new report finds that Latino immigrants are deported at a disproportionately high rate, more than any other ethnicity. Hector Sanchez, the chair of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda that co-authored the report with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, faults President Obama for the high level of deportations.
Following the president's remarks on immigration reform during the State of the Union, the federal government has enacted some changes to its immigration rules as they apply to asylum seekers. This comes as a result of the increased numbers of Syrian refugees asking for asylum, as well as the government's new stance on those who provided "limited material support" to terrorist organizations and rebel groups.
