"There doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sort of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office," Obama said in the interview, which was posted on YouTube Saturday.

Bruce Springsteen has lent his song "Born in the USA" to a new short film that highlights the stories of American citizens who were wrongfully targeted by ICE.
