Obama's day: Talking immigration in Nashville

President Obama will again defend his new immigration policies during a trip Tuesday to Nashville.

The president is also likely to comment on a new Senate report on alleged torture of suspects during the war on terrorism.

The trip to Nashville is part of a long-term presidential effort to promote Obama's decision to defer deportations for up to 5 million migrants in the country illegally, many of them family members of U.S. citizens.

Obama speaks at Casa Azafran, which the White House describes as "a community center and home to a number of immigrant-related non-profits, located in Nashville's most international and socially diverse district."

During the event, Obama "will deliver remarks and answer questions from the audience on his recent executive actions to fix as much of our broken immigration system as he can while urging Congress to pass a comprehensive bill to get the job done," the White House says.

In the morning, before leaving for Nashville, Obama will give a speech in Washington to the Senior Executive Service, which includes leaders of the federal workforce.
