U.S. plans raids to deport families who surged across border
 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has begun preparing for a series of raids that would target for deportation hundreds of families who have flocked to the United States since the start of last year, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

Citing people familiar with the operation, the 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, the newspaper said.

More than 100,000 families with both adults and children have made the journey across the southwest border since last year, the Post reported.

The operation would target only adults and children who have already been ordered removed from the United States by an immigration judge, the newspaper said.

The Post said the operation has not been given final approval by DHS. The number of people targeted is expected to be in the hundreds and possibly greater, the newspaper said.

DHS did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters for comment.

Experts say that the violence that was a key factor in driving people to flee Central America last year has surged again, The Post reported.

The pressure for deportations has mounted because of a recent court decision that ordered DHS to begin releasing families housed in detention centers, according to the Post.

Immigration advocates expressed concern about the plan.

"It would be an outrage if the administration subjected Central American families to even more aggressive enforcement tactics," Gregory Chen, director of advocacy for the American Immigration Lawyers Association, told the Post.

I say that if you can make it here you can stay!

It's the American way - it's how ALL of our families got here (with the exception of native Americans)

we have laws now :1orglaugh

Heavily armed DHS agents detaining children will make for some great PR imagery. #PoliceState

so what would you do? sit on your hands??

"The operation would target only adults and children who have already been ordered removed from the United States by an immigration judge, the newspaper said."

I'd target violent criminals and not children looking for a better life..

That isn't their job; and kids are coming here because their parents are dragging them, not because they are seeking a better life. Don't make me agree with monkey, please. It's fucking Christmas.

Why are the parents coming here then? For a better life for them and their kids.

And many of the children are unaccompanied.

my father in law came here legally! he lived in one of the deadliest parts of mexico.

And my family came here fleeing Nazi Germany. America is built on people looking for a better life. Well maybe not yours.. aren't you black? Your family was most likely forced here as slaves so I can understand how you can't personally relate.. Not trying to be a dick. I guess my point is I'm alive today thanks to America so this is personal to me.

Should they come here legally? Yes. Am I against illegal immigration? Yes. But I still have compassion for people looking for a better life even if they came here illegally.

Deja vu all over again

So Obummer doing what Trump said he would do and is crucified for it.
I'm guessing this won't make the evening news.

So how do you think the Native Americans made it to America?

which america?

The first migration, that led to the majority of Native American populations, was of a single group called the "First Americans" that crossed from Asia to America in a land bridge called Beringia, that existed during the ice ages more than 15,000 years ago, say the researchers, whose efforts were co-ordinated by ...

Looks like that evil rassis Trump just can not stop huh!?

The Catholic Church should be forced to foot the bill for this problem. They created this issue by encouraging people who are uneducated and unemployable to "be fruitful and multiply".

Send an invoice to the Vatican, build a fucking wall, and shoot future invaders on sight.

exactly. I wanted to find out what way MiamiBoyz thinks they got there because apparently he believes they were there all the time.
