The U.S Department of Homeland Security is preparing for a series of raids aimed at deporting hundreds of families who have flocked to the country since the start of last year, it has been reported.
Citing people familiar with the operation, the Washington Post said the nationwide campaign to deport the illegal immigrants by U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement could start as soon as early January.
It would be the first large-scale effort to deport families who have fled violence in Central America.
More than 100,000 families – many with children – have made the journey across the south west border since last year.
The operation would target only adults and children who have already been ordered for removal from the United States by an immigration judge, the newspaper said.
It said the operation has not been given final approval by DHS. However, the number of people targeted is expected to be in the hundreds and possibly greater.
