Hundreds Protest Record Deportations outside White House 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
On Saturday, hundreds of protesters rallied outside the White House in a
call for President Obama to halt his administration's record
deportations and address comprehensive reform. Tefere Gebre of the
AFL-CIO said Obama has a unique opportunity to take action.

Tefere Gebre: "The president has an opportunity to actually go back,
provide justice to the parents, provide justice to the workers in this
country who have been working in the shadows. And we're here to ask the
president to go back, to be bold and provide justice and provide
opportunity for people to come out of the shadows and work without fear.
That's what we are here for."
