Activists preparing nationwide protests against deportations

The activists said that, as part of the protests, they will deliver "thousands of petitions" on Tuesday to the headquarters of Obama's reelection campaign in Chicago, and they will express their indignation over the expansion of S-COMM, an initiative that effectively turns local police officers into immigration agents.

Coordinated protests also will be staged Houston, Boston, Miami, Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Obama has not only deported more than 1 million undocumented foreigners since he took office in 2009, but he "is taking steps that will wreak even greater havoc and devastation on immigrant communities," the Presente.org coalition said in a statement.

"If the president continues driving away Latino voters, he will lose the election, pure and simple," according to Presente's Carlos Roa.

"He can't expect Latino voters and an entire community to just keep watching while he expanded Secure Communities, an extremely controversial program that separates families," Roa said.
