The US government suddenly cuts immigrant deportations in the country. President Barack Obama has silently reduced deportations by almost 20 percent while adjourning strategies to act on his own probably to protect millions of immigrants from expulsion.

As per the Associated Press' analysis, the Homeland Security Department showed the fewest number of deportations since in 2007. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the state agency accountable for deportations expelled 258,608 immigrants between the start of the budget year last October 1 and July 28 this summer. During the same period a year before, it deported 320,167 people which meant a decrease this year of almost 20 percent. In 2012, the agency deported 344,624 people, some 25 percent more than this year, conferring to federal figures acquired by the AP.

Earlier this year, President Obama declared to act on his own to cut deportations but has adjourned any changes until after the elections on November. The postponement is a move to protect susceptible Democrats from latent voter indignation at his autonomous actions.

The expulsion figures contained in weekly internal reports marked "Official Use Only," reveal the marked decrease in deportations even as President Obama has adjourned announcing the changes in the US immigration policies. Immigration promoters extensively anticipate the administration to cut the number of immigrants who are deported, a predominantly profound issue in many US states. The Obama administration has extradited over 2.1 million immigrants.

There are two main reasons for the sudden cut in immigrants' deportations. One is: The Obama regime decided to focus its deportation on criminal immigrants or those who pose a risk to national security or public safety. Another reason is as Border Patrol agents detain more people from Central America countries, not Mexico, the capacity and conditions of the cases take more time for incredulous immigration officers and courts to process because among other reasons, the US must take wing such immigrants home instead of letting them walk back across the border into Mexico.  

Josh Earnest, the White House spokesperson said that the cut showed the president's decision to swing resources from the interior of the country to the border to address the surge in unaided minors arriving on the border.

Meanwhile, it still remains indistinct what plans US President Barack Obama will announce after the November's elections. Earlier this month, the president said that the US would be better off if immigrants have a conduit to get legal by paying taxes and getting legitimate, paying a fine, and learning the English language if they have to. However, there are limits under US law of actions that Obama could take without the Congress' consent. He can't largely give immigrants blanket permission to remain permanently in the US and can't grant them American citizenship.

President Obama said that a prejudiced fight in July on how to address a surge in the number of immigrant children caught crossing the border had generated the impression that there was indeed a crisis.

As of early September, only 319 of over 59,000 immigrants who were caught peripatetic with their families have been returned to Central America. The cut signifies the president's strategies towards the ongoing deportation crisis in the country.
