The Obama administration says it deported 369,000 immigrants during the past fiscal year. That’s a 10 percent decrease over last year’s record of 410,000, marking the first time deportations have dropped during Obama’s tenure. In a statement, Marisa Franco of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network said, “The biggest fear of immigrant families is becoming a number in the statistics released today. No matter what direction the numbers go in, the fear entrenched in people’s lives won’t be removed until the threat is eliminated and that can only be done by a president who recognizes the error of his ways and reverses course on the dragnet he’s built.”
