Senator Richard Blumenthal plans to call on the new Acting Secretary of Homeland Security to restore reason to what he says is a badly broken immigration system. 

He is referring to several cases in Connecticut, including a New Fairfield man, who have no criminal record and U.S.-born children who are being deported because they entered the country illegally. 

He is also urging Acting Secretary Elaine Duke to protect Dreamers—young people who have come forward to establish and legitimize their status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
