Ten agents from the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency are suing their employer, alleging that they are being prevented from fully identifying and deporting illegal immigrants, USA Today reports.
The agents say the Obama administration’s orders to focus efforts on deporting dangerous illegal immigrants and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, granting work visas to eligible young illegal immigrants, are violating the Constitution and the law.
