On Thursday, November 20th, President Obama announced a package of executive actions to provide temporary reprieve from deportation to a limited number of immigrants living in the country. The ACLU of Idaho welcomes this good news as a step in the right direction in addressing the plight of immigrant families caught in a political fiasco and broken immigration system. The temporary relief is a significant advancement towards affirming the civil liberties of immigrants. Immigrants that will qualify can now breathe a sigh of relief, as the threat of possible deportation is cast aside.
