5:40Now PlayingAfter being deported to Mexico from his home in Arizona earlier this year, Jaime Valdez joins us to detail his attempt today to reenter the United States. Valdez says he was deported in retaliation for a hunger strike that his family took part in at the Phoenix offices of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to protest U.S. immigration policies. "All my family is in the U.S., so that's why I'm trying to come back," Valdez says. "We're going to try to get this message to the President, to stop the deportations and to stop the discrimination and injustice in detention centers." He and another immigrant hope to rejoin their families today by crossing at a checkpoint in the Mexican border town of Nogales, where the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are currently on a 3day tour, visiting with border patrol agents and migrants.
