Federal prosecutions of immigrants soared to new levels this spring, as the Obama administration continued an aggressive enforcement strategy championed under President George W. Bush, according to a new study released Thursday.

They ranged from misdemeanor illegal entry to prosecutions of immigrants with criminal records.
