Deportations decline in 2015, officials say
The Department of Homeland Security is planning a large-scale effort to detain and deport hundreds of immigrant families who have illegally crossed the southern border of the US since the start of 2014, sources confirmed to CBS News.

The United States deported fewer immigrants in 2015 than in the past 15 years, an Obama administration report revealed Tuesday.
Experts say that the violence that was a key factor in driving people to flee Central America a year ago has surged again, The Post reported.
“Higher numbers of Central Americans crossing our border require greater resources, as the removal process for this population takes more time, personnel resources, and funding to complete compared to the removal process for Mexican nationals”, Johnson said.
CHANNEL 5 NEWS is learning about a possible series of raids by the Department of Homeland Security. The adults and children would be detained wherever they can be found and immediately deported.
“I’ll believe it when I see it”, said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Secretary of State John Kerry announced in September that the USA would increase the number of refugees it lets into the country, raising the total to 100,000 by the year 2017. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has pledged to be “less harsh and aggressive” than Obama while Republican Donald Trump has pledged to deport millions of people in the country illegally and build a wall along the Mexican border to stop future illegal immigration.
President Barack Obama has been criticized both for being too lenient on immigration, and for being too tough, earning him the nickname “deporter in chief” by some critics. It is the nation’s only think tank devoted exclusively to research and policy analysis of the economic, social, demographic, fiscal, and other impacts of immigration on the United States. But even as DHS officials have long vowed that the migrants will be treated humanely, their advocates have said conditions are crowded and inhumane in the centers, which often house women with children.
“The most disappointing piece about DHS reporting year-end results is the lack of reporting on whether or not the agents tasked with protecting the border are conducting themselves in a professional manner”, he said.

As the administration wrestled with how to handle the families, Johnson in November 2014 issued a set of new immigration enforcement priorities. “What we need to be doing here in the border region is revitalizing, not militarizing the region”.
