Ruben Hinojosa (D-Texas), told TIME. Hinojosa is the Chairman of the CHC. The meeting will focus on a [memo](http://chc-hinojosa.house.gov/sites/congressionalhispaniccaucus.house.gov/files/CHC%20Memo%20to%20Sec%20%20Johnson.pdf) the caucus sent to Johnson in April on administrative deportation relief and humane enforcement practices, Mora told TIME. “The intent of the meeting tomorrow is to talk about what administrative actions the President can take under the law,” she wrote in an email. One of the CHC recommendations—to expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to parents and siblings—is the “most clear opportunity” to provide temporary deportation relief, another congressional aide told TIME. If DACA were extended to children’s family members, illegal immigrant families would be able to stay together in the U.S. for at least two years without fear of deportation. In the memo, CHC writes that nearly 205,000 parents of U.S. born children were deported in between July 2010 and September 2012. In June, President Obama announced that he had asked Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder to seek out additional executive actions on immigration that he could announce before the end of the summer. “If Congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours,” Obama said. The White House declined to comment for this story. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3028562/congress-immigration-deportation-obama/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3028562/congress-immigration-deportation-obama/"},"headline":"Hispanic Caucus To Push Deportation Relief in White House Meeting","datePublished":"2014-07-24T13:58:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:19:28.998Z","description":"The meeting will focus on a list of executive action recommendations the caucus sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in April","url":"https://time.com/3028562/congress-immigration-deportation-obama/","keywords":["Congress","Barack Obama","immigration reform","deportation"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Rogers","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-rogers/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/congress/","name":"Congress"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3028562/congress-immigration-deportation-obama/","name":"Hispanic Caucus To Push Deportation Relief in White House Meeting"}}]}] ```
