Who is not being deported? With the focus on criminals and not families, the administration has moved away from those living and working in the U.S. without a criminal history.
"Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mom whos working hard to provide for her kids. Well prioritize, just like law enforcement does every day," Obama said in November 2014 when announcing his executive action on immigration.
And while he tried to provide relief and a way "out of the shadows" for those without criminal histories with his immigration action, that was eventually stricken down by the Supreme Court not issuing a decision on the case, thereby upholding the lower courts action.
But by refocusing on criminals most families who are living and following the law are not targets for deportations.
