The move prompted outrage from many on the Left who accused the practice of being anti-immigrant and unprecedented.
Proponents of the move pointed out this week that President Barack Obama gave his support to the same policy when he was in office and bragged of deportations of criminals having increased 80 percent during his tenure.
The grieving man revealed how he had rushed to his father's bedside at Bristol Royal Infirmary after doctors told him he did not have long, but he could not get there in time because protesters were blocking the M32 into the city.
He rang his local radio station to tell his story yesterday afternoon, sparking fury among listeners who branded the demonstrations selfish.
After hearing the BBC Radio Bristol clip, Extinction protester Zoe Jones said she was 'incredibly sorry' but still believed she was 'doing the right thing'.

French medics hold placards, reading "We are not robots," as they march in the centre of Bordeaux.
"We need to work more" to catch up with France's more industrious EU neighbors, President Emmanuel Macron recently stated.
A nurse who spends 59 hours at three jobs per week seems like just what the country needs, but it turned out the immigration services don't share the president's views. They rejected the woman's citizenship application over a "violation of working regulations in France"where 48 hours per week is the maximum allowed.
The nurse said she is going to appeal the decision and is fully backed by her colleagues, who shared their frustration online.
Ironically, Alie Ward, the SJW who lost her mind over the plates, claims to be a comedian. She is also a science correspondent for Innovation Nation on CBS.
The plates in question are from the brand Pourtions which makes dinnerware and drink glasses to help control how much you eat. The smallest circle on these particular plates reads "skinny jeans," while the middle circle reads "favorite jeans," and the largest says "mom jeans."
Ward claimed that the plates can "hurt people."
I'm referring of course to the recent publicity surrounding Jessica Yaniv, a stunning and brave trans woman who has filed complaints against more than a dozen female waxers with the Human Rights Council in British Columbia. And what is the justification these women have attempted to make in order to disguise their obvious bigotry? Well, among other flimsy excuses, 'religious grounds' (the majority of these women are immigrants) and the bizarre claim from one of them that her husband feared for her safety due to the fact that she works from home and has small children to take care of. What on earth does a woman have to fear from a 200+ lbs trans woman who is simply asking to come round to her home and have the hairs removed from her testicle satchel?

In 2005, playwright Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize acceptance speech sent shock waves around the ruling establishment. During the speech, Pinter described the US strategy of "low intensity" conflict:
"Low intensity conflict means that thousands of people die but slower than if you dropped a bomb on them in one fell swoop. It means that you infect the heart of the country, that you establish a malignant growth and watch the gangrene bloom."The West established the malignant growth in Syria and the wider region, the terrorist groups are a cancer that the Syrian Arab Army and the people of Syria have been battling to contain and cauterize before it spreads to the rest of the world. The gangrene can be perceived as the trauma, the effects of this externally-fomented conflict upon the Syrian people.
Weekly Yellow Vest demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron's austerity measures have strained France's police force, which was already experiencing fatigue due to personnel and funding shortages. So far this year, 37 cases of suicide have been reported among French police, compared with 35 cases in all of 2018.
For the spouses of serving officers, the mounting stress has become unbearable.
Rocah was part of a panel previewing the upcoming second round of Democratic debates on MSNBC's Up with David Gura. During a discussion about a likely face-off between Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Rocah made her rather caustic comments.
"[A]s a woman, probably considered a somewhat moderate Democrat, I... Bernie Sanders makes my skin crawl. And I can't even identify for you what exactly it is. But I see him as sort of a not pro-woman candidate," Rocah said, adding that she hopes the juxtaposition of Sanders and Warren appearing against each other in the debates will win more voters over to her side.
The falloff, which is being felt broadly across the economy, stems from tougher regulatory scrutiny in the United States and a less hospitable climate towards Chinese investment, as well as Beijing's tightened limits on foreign spending.
It is affecting a range of industries, including Silicon Valley startups, the Manhattan real estate market and state governments that spent years wooing Chinese investment, underscoring how the world's two largest economies are beginning to decouple after years of increasing integration.

But Epstein still found a way for the "too old" teens to help satisfy his perverted appetite — by finding "younger girls" who were more his type, ex-detective Michael Fisten told CNN.
"Once these girls lost their braces and their pubescent look and started becoming 16-years old or 17-years old, they were too old for him, so then he started using them as recruiters to bring the younger girls," he said.
Fisten began investigating the multimillionaire financier in 2009 for lawyer Brad Edwards, who represents several women who claim Epstein abused them when they were underage.
"I started going out and interviewing witnesses that became victims," Fisten told CNN. "One after another, three girls turned into four girls, turned into five, six, seven and so on...I couldn't help but think that this could've been my daughter or your daughter or my next-door neighbor's daughter."
In the interview, Fisten alleged that Epstein hired "former Miami cops" to try to frighten his accusers into silence.
