Did John Lennon push it too far with deferred action? He had a drug conviction, I think.
These are still individual cases with individual circumstances and just because those involved have public figures, we don't know all the details of their stories. Even their attoneys might not know every little thing or circumstance that when pieced together over the narrative and timeline would make their cases compelling. The activists have never been in deportation proceedings before, right? Except for the one woman who had been deported seven years ago and re-entered with the group.
So, the government doesn't have a case file for them that would be as detailed and comprehensive as that of an individual with a case in proceedings and appeal. I don't think these will be the equivalent of class-action cases but the unknown and the possible is what's at stake here.

I don't exactly see myself as young, but I think it's pushing it too far because being here illegally is already difficult enough to argue and could jeopardize CIR even more cause it defeats the argument
that we're already here in the US and might as well make us productive members of society. They also look like they're enforcing the whole "illegal invader" image. It just makes me cringe. Honestly, I wish they could come back but from a native born American's perspective I'd see it as deserting your roots. If you let them come back, it opens a whole nother can worms. It just makes it much more complicated that just puts CIR in a far greater risk of not passing.
