Immigrant Rights Protesters Denounce Court Ruling Blocking Reprieves

HeadlineFeb 18, 2015

Protests for immigrant rights were held across the United States on Tuesday. In Los Angeles, a recipient of Obama’s deferred immigration action for undocumented youths denounced the court decision.

Stephanie Ramirez: “I stand here today very disappointed learning about the injunction of the implementation of DACA and DAPA [Deferred Action for Parental Accountability]. But also I am here determined and confident that through our fight we will allow the implementation of these programs and continue the benefits for more potential DACA and DAPA recipients.”
