ICE raids to ‘deport 2,000 of immigrants’ will be begin on SUNDAY: Trump-backed operation will be carried out over multiple days in 10 major cities, Homeland Security officials warn

Immigration Customs and Border Patrol officers will start conducting raids all over the country on Sunday in a bid to arrest thousands of members of undocumented families, officials have announced, having previously had the scheme halted by President Trump.

As first reported by the New York Times, the controversial raids will conducted over a number of days commencing the morning of July 14, which will include ‘collateral’ deportations according to two anonymous ICE officials.

Officers have been instructed to detain immigrants who happen to be in the vicinity of the raid, even if they weren’t the intended target of it, the officials said.

Family members who are arrested together will be held in family detention centers in Texas and Pennsylvania, but space limitations may mean some will be held up in hotels until proper travel documents can be prepared.
