A dozen New Yorkers embarked Monday on a tour of New York State in support of immigration reform. During the five-trip, which takes the caravan to 10 cities, about 5,000 people will be deported and 5,000 detained nationwide, said Chung-Wha Hong, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, which is spearheading the trip.
