Reports of Obama Action on Immigration Not Stopping Rally at Phoenix ICE Office
Reports that President Obama soon will announce drastic changes to the country's immigration policies won't stop a protest against the administration's current policies.
Obama's plan, as reported by the New York Times, potentially could shield several million people from deportation, but an organizer with the Puente Human Rights Movement tells New Times that the news doesn't affect the group's protest planned for later today at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Phoenix.
"[Obama] hasn't made an announcement yet, and there have been previous times and a lot of rumors about Obama making a decision, and it's been delayed," Francisca Porchas says, adding, "We feel a great deal of responsibility, after so much work, for us to continue to push on him."
