Protesting Obama’s record high deportation levels, members of DREAM Team Los Angeles along with other immigrant rights coalition members conducted a civil disobedience in Santa Monica, CA during a fundraising visit by the president in June 2013.
This action, calling for Not 1 More deportation, would be instrumental in President Obama announcing the executive policy of DAPA – Deferred Action and Parental Accountability in November 2014. The policy would have granted administrative relief for undocumented parents of U.S. citizen children. The policy would be held up in the Supreme Court and not implemented.
