Activists urge President Obama to call off federal raids to deport hundreds of Central American women and children that entered the country last year and were ordered removed from the US by a judge. This weekend, dozens of parents and children were captured in Georgia and other states. Salvadoran refugee mothers share moving testimonies about their quest for refuge. An analyst also comments on the status of Texas v. US, at a time when the US Supreme Court is expected to decide whether to review the case in its 2016 session.
