WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders called on the White House to end deportation raids and extend temporary protected status to families who fled violence in Central America.
Sanders, I-Vt., said the "inhumane" roundups are not an answer to protecting families who have migrated to the United States since summer 2014. He said more than 80 percent of women detained after that wave "were found to have a credible threat to their safety if they were returned home."
