Report: 46,000 Parents of U.S.-Born Children Deported in Early 2011 
--------------------------------------------------------------------



A new investigation by the Applied Research Center has revealed the
Obama administration deported 46,000 parents of U.S.-born children
during the first six months of the year. The data on parental
deportations does not reveal how many children each of these parents
had, or whether their children remained in the United States or left
with their parents. The Center estimates there at least 5,100 children
in foster care who face barriers to family reunification because their
mother or father has been detained or deported.
