Protesters from the immigrant advocacy group RAICES Action interrupted former Vice President Joe Biden's closing remarks at Wednesday's Democratic debate in Nevada. 'You deported three million people!' they cried.
"Overall, it is the beginning of a new discussion for immigration action that must include impacted communities, remedy past mistakes, and see the whole of the global crisis," reads the RAICES Action website.
As of November 2019, the administration of President Donald Trump had deported fewer than 800,000 people from U.S. soil. But the Obama administration, in which Biden served as vice president, deported over 1 million people during its first three years. In a February interview with Univision, Biden said the deportation of 3 million people, including 1.7 million with no criminal record was a"big mistake."
"We took far too long to get it right," Biden said."I think it was a big mistake. Took too long to get it right." "The point is there were too many," Biden added."I saw the pain in the eyes of so many people who saw their families being deported. I know what it's like to lose family members. It was painful."
