3:25Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - In a Democracy Now! exclusive, we're joined by DREAM activist Viridiana Martinez, who calls us live from a detention center in Pompano Beach, Florida. Martinez is one of a group of undocumented activists with the National Immigrant Youth Alliance who have infiltrated the Broward Transitional Center and found dozens of immigrants who should be released under Obama's discretionary guidelines. A review of cases to remove low priority deportations -- such as those involving immigrants with no criminal records and strong family ties -- has so far stopped less than 2 percent of removals.
Listen to a longer interview with Martinez conducted by Democracy Now!'s Reneé Feltz
