New data shows the Obama administration is continuing to deport massive numbers of immigrants despite a review aimed at halting deportations for those with no criminal records and family ties to the United States. Top officials had previously promised to close backlogged deportation cases for immigrants with strong family connections. But out of hundreds of thousands of deportation cases, fewer than 2 percent have been closed so far. The Department of Homeland Security says it had identified more than 20,000 immigrants facing deportation who were eligible to have their cases closed, but that many cases have been stalled by the need for background checks. Immigration advocates say families are still being unjustifiably separated.
