More than 700,000 immigrants have been deported from the U.S. in the last three fiscal years.

Activists and advocacy groups expressed devastation over the news, saying it is ‘unconscionable’ to deport people in the middle of a pandemic.

One expert calls it a ‘good first step,’ but says more needs to be done.

Clemente Pereida, a father of three, sought a waiver to halt his deportation. The court’s conservative justices said no.

An estimated 38 immigrants are currently taking sanctuary from deportation.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued to stop the Department of Homeland Security from enforcing the ban.

Their lawyers argue the families facing deportation were never given a fair chance to seek asylum under several policies enacted by Donald Trump’s administration.

The administration is keeping kids in hotels, thereby circumventing federal anti-trafficking laws and a two-decade-old court settlement.
