EEUU: Activistas piden exencion humanitaria a menores centroamericanos sin documentos

Activists and families urged President Obama to expand humanitarian exemptions to allow undocumented Central American children to stay in the U.S. Cindy Monge, a Guatemalan immigrant, argued against deporting minors fleeing violence and poverty. Gustavo Torres from Casa de Maryland demanded case-by-case reviews, especially for those with parents in the U.S. The White House responded that most unaccompanied minors at the border are unlikely to receive humanitarian extensions.
