Washington, January 6 (RHC)-- Some of the first Central American families set for deportation under the Barack Obama administration’s latest round of raids have won a key victory after a top immigration appeals court halted their deportations.

In what advocates dubbed "car-seat raids," agents rounded up at least 121 people over the weekend, targeting Central American families who have recently fled violence in their home countries.

Activists say five of the families were able to win a halt to their deportation after citing due process violations. The order came just hours before they were set to be deported to El Salvador, which now has the highest murder rate in the world for a country not at war.
