WP: US to Kick Off Migrant Crackdown Sunday

By Staff, Agencies

US immigration authorities plan to launch Sunday a sweeping effort to deport recently arrived families who are in the United States illegally, the Washington Post reported on Friday, citing three unnamed US officials.

In a call with reporters earlier this week, Mark Morgan, the acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told reporters the agency would target for deportation families that have received a removal order from a US immigration court. But it was not clear when the operation would commence.
