Immigrant Rights Protesters Denounce Court Ruling Blocking Reprieves 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Protests for immigrant rights were held across the United States on
Tuesday. In Los Angeles, a recipient of Obama's deferred immigration
action for undocumented youths denounced the court decision.

Stephanie Ramirez: "I stand here today very disappointed learning about
the injunction of the implementation of DACA and DAPA [Deferred Action
for Parental Accountability]. But also I am here determined and
confident that through our fight we will allow the implementation of
these programs and continue the benefits for more potential DACA and
DAPA recipients."
