Latinos Said to Bear Weight of a Deportation Program - NYTimes.com: A deportation program that is central to the Obama administration’s immigration enforcement strategy has led disproportionately to the removal of Latino immigrants and to arrests by immigration authorities of hundreds of United States citizens, according to a report by two law schools using new, in-depth official data on deportation cases.
The report also found that about a third of around 226,000 immigrants who have been deported under the program, known as
Secure Communities, had spouses or children who were United States citizens, suggesting a broad impact from those removals on Americans in Latino communities.
