Will White House Temper Harsh Deportation Strategy?

March 14, 2014 (1 min read)

"Obama announced in a meeting readout that he has requested a review of his administration’s enforcement policies for immigration laws to see if that enforcement can be done “more humanely within the confines of the law,” the White House said Thursday. ... The White House made the announcement after Obama met for more than an hour Thursday evening with three leading members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus amid a furor in the Latino and immigration-rights community over the number of deportations of undocumented immigrants during his administration.  “The president emphasized his deep concern about the pain too many families feel from the separation that comes from our broken immigration system,” the White House said in a readout of the meeting.  Obama asked Jeh Johnson, the Department of Homeland Security secretary, to conduct the review, the White House said." - Politico, Mar. 13, 2014.
