Hundreds protest deportations in Phoenix
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.
