Hundreds marched in Phoenix on Monday to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office to protest the Obama administration's deportation policies.

Hundreds marched in Phoenix on Monday to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office to protest the Obama administration's deportation policies. The march came days after a group of activists chained themselves to buses carrying immigrant detainees in Tucson and halted a court hearing there.

As Jude Joffe-Block reports, these activists are calling on the President to take administrative action on immigration as the chance of Congress passing a reform bill this year wanes.
