11:04Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - As President Obama backs an immigration plan that includes a path to citizenship for some of the country's 11 million undocumented residents, deportations are continuing at record levels. We go to Arizona where one family was almost torn apart because of a three-year-old traffic violation. Last night, 11-year-old Jose Arma was reunited with his father, Edi Arma, who was detained two weeks ago and almost deported to Guatemala. One day after their reunion, Jose and Edi join us from Phoenix along with immigration activist Viridiana Hernandez, who helped organize a community campaign to win Edi's release.
