Immigration detention: fastest growing incarceration system in the U.S.
"The arrest, detention and deportation of illegal immigrants is higher
than at any time in U.S. history with more than 2.3 million individuals
deported in the last five years. The government's immigration enforcement efforts -- detention -- is now the fastest growing incarceration system in the U.S. With
illegal border crossings down significantly over the past couple of
years, enforcement efforts of illegal border crossing has turned more
forcefully to the interior and the communities where millions of
undocumented immigrants live, once again sparking the debate over
comprehensive immigration reform. "Aqui y Ahora" Correspondent
Tifani Roberts tells us how Obama's policy has separated hundreds of
thousands of families and how an investigation shows the other side of
deportations."
