Leading Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has called for an end to deportation raids targeting Central American families living in the US illegally.

A spike in raids in recent weeks, largely aimed at women and children, has drawn the ire of rights groups.

According to BBC News, Mrs. Clinton said the raids “have sown fear and division in immigrant communities across the country”.

The raids reportedly spiked over the holiday season, with 121 adults and children arrested, mainly in Texas, Georgia and North Carolina.

Scores of House Democrats on Tuesday echoed Mrs. Clinton and demanded the raids stop.
