600 children are plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Obama administration demanding that the deportation of their parents be stopped. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the children, who are mostly Latino U.S. citizens, by Nora Sandigo CEO of American Fraternity, a pro immigrant organization based in Miami.

“Children continue to suffer by being separated from their parents because of deportations that the President may be able to suspend.” Sandigo asserted. She also explained that filing this law suit is not because she or these children are against him, but to use his authority and urge him to issue an executive order to stop the deportations, and adopt new immigration laws.

I hope that among all the executive orders that Obama signs, one will end the ICE raids and deportations pending comprehensive immigration overhaul (forget reform). Sandingo said that the lawsuit wasn’t anything personal against Obama, in fact, she said she said it’s the first time she can remember feeling so hopeful about someone being able to solve the immigration issue.
