FILE - This is a Sunday, March 17, 2013 file photo of Pope Francis gestures as he delivers his Angelus prayer from the window of his studio overlooking St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican. The election of a Jesuit pope devoted to the poor and stressing a message of mercy rather than condemnation has brought a glimmer of hope to American nuns who have been the subject of a Vatican crackdown accusing them of having focused too much on social justice at the expense of other church issues such as abortion, according to interviews with several groups.

Sandra Payes Chacon, wife of Rony Molina, pauses while talking about her children to the Associated Press at a friends home in Atlixco, Mexico, Thursday, June 7, 2012. Sandra, who lived in the U.S. illegally, was deported to Guatemala a year and a half ago. She left behind her husband and her three children, all of them U.S. citizens. In the first six months of 2011, the United States removed more than 46,000 immigrants who were the parents of American-born children according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The number was first reported in a study called "Shattered Families" by the Applied Research Center, a New York-based social justice organization. Nearly 45,000 such parents were removed in the first six months of this year, according to ICE. (AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills)
