PHOENIX - Protesters gathered outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Phoenix to voice their dismay at a Supreme Court decision blocking President Barack Obama's plan to shield millions living in the U.S. illegally from deportation.

More than 60 activists blocked parts of Central Avenue, a major thoroughfare, just north of downtown just before noon. They were carrying signs in sweltering heat and chanting in Spanish and English. About two dozen more stood on the sidewalk in the shade.

Phoenix police officers were monitoring the scene. Air15 video showed two women and two men apparently being arrested after refusing to leave the street.

So far, peaceable protest downtown by dreamers. Our mission keep everyone safe!pic.twitter.com/3BjuA8MLI8

The action came hours after the nation's high court deadlocked on an Obama administration appeal of a lower court decision that blocks his 2014 plan. Texas led Arizona and other Republican-dominated states in challenging the Obama program.

In response, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson issued this statement:

"Like the President, I am disappointed by the Supreme Court’s 4-4 vote today in United States v. Texas. The case concerns Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and the expansion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The 4-4 impasse leaves the court of appeals ruling in place and effectively prohibits us from implementing these important initiatives.

It is important to emphasize that this ruling does not affect the existing DACA policy, which was not challenged. Eligible individuals may continue to come forward and request initial grants or renewals of DACA, pursuant to the guidelines established in 2012.

We are also moving forward on the other executive actions the President and I announced in November 2014 to reform our immigration system. This includes our changes to the Department’s immigration enforcement priorities. Through these priorities, we are more sharply focused on the removal of convicted criminals, threats to public safety and national security, and border security. We have ended the controversial Secure Communities program. We are expanding policies designed to help family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents stay together when removal would result in extreme hardship. And we have taken several actions to make it easier for international students, entrepreneurs, and high-skilled immigrants to contribute to the U.S. economy.

The President and I remain committed to fixing our broken immigration system. We are disappointed by the 4-4 vote in the Supreme Court today, and the gridlock in Congress that has stood in the way of more lasting, comprehensive immigration reform."

This is why you can't let these people infest our communities, take up residence, dig in, nest and carry on like they do. These people need to have a deportation hearing within 24 hours following arrest with a Magistrate trained to use E-Verify and they're deported within 24 to 48 hours after that with a big fine for the trouble and expense they caused.

...The challenge is especially dramatic in Texas, where five immigration judges in the Houston area are adjudicating 39,628 cases.

If these judges were given one year to clear their dockets, they would have to decide 22 cases per day, assuming they worked 365 days and saw no additions.

There are over 86,000 illegal immigrants awaiting a hearing in Texas, the second highest in the nation...

And if they have no money? Because most illegal aliens aren't know for being rich.

They can easily clear up the backlog by omitting all the nonsense. Deportation for illegal presence is the law. Either you have papers and a right to be here or you don't. It's not a complicated thing. You either carry your papers with you or out you go. Either you're a citizen or you're not. If you don't have an immigration card on you, then you're here illegally and out you go. E-Verify can help expedite. This should be done before the hearing and the results submitted to the Magistrate by the police. It's that simple. They should be able to handle hundreds of cases of illegal presence a day, like in 1 minute per case and the whole family should have already been rounded up and added to the appearance for the deportation removal order, minor children regardless of citizenship are removed with the parents.

Oh they have money, don't kid yourself. But we'll confiscate their vehicles. They've all got nice vehicles. We'll search their houses for hidden money and drugs. It's there, don't kid yourselves. We'll garnish their paychecks, they'll have some coming, don't kid yourselves.

Your comments go farther into fantasyland every day.

Well they are not hiding in the shadows and easily accessible to round them up for deportation.

Not a lot of man power & treasury needed here!

JD, people have to have goals or none are ever met and problems are never solved.
