I think the issue is not to stop all deportations but the plea is for Obama to actually follow through with what he's said repeatedly in public speeches and the basis for our own deferred action--to prioritize administrative resources on those with significant criminal records.

If you look at the TRAC data, "less than 1 in 9 persons targeted by ICE detainers have criminal records, and over 62 percent of persons in detention have no criminal records." This is a serious contradiction to his stance on only targeting those who pose serious risk to public safety or national security.
