D.C. Protest to Call on Obama to End Deportations, Take Exec Action on Immigration 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Lawmakers will likely end the current session without a measure to
address the migrant crisis on the Mexico border. President Obama has
asked Republicans for $3.7 billion, but a Republican countermeasure
would allocate less than $700 million. The current session will also end
without action on comprehensive immigration reform. Immigrant rights
groups are holding a march in Washington, D.C., on Saturday under the
banner of "Not One More Deportation." Organizers are calling on
President Obama "to reverse his record deportations and right his
policies to expand relief to the fullest extent possible under the law."
They also want Obama to meet with undocumented leaders.
