More than 100 people rallied in Queens asking that President Obama grant administrative relief and end deportations, reports the Queens Chronicle.
“We need relief now,” said 13-year-old Nushin Tarannum, whose father was detained by immigration. “Detentions and deportations have broken our families apart. I don’t want to lose my dad again.”
The rally was organized by DRUM (Desis Rising Up and Moving).
Under the Obama administration, more undocumented immigrants have been deported for minor offenses.
