U.S. Plans Mass Deportation

The United States is getting prepared for a large-scale operation to deport hundreds of thousands of refugees, who have fled violence in Central America since last year.

Citing people familiar with the plan, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the operation would target more than 100,000 families with both adults and children who have made the journey across the southwest border since 2015.

The raid would be carried out by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as soon as early January, when the immigrants and refugees would be detained wherever they can be found and immediately deported, according to the Post. The operation, however, has not been given the final approval by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Immigration advocates denounced the plan on Wednesday, saying many of these families have been fleeing violence or persecution in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

This would only be persons tgat a judge has denied the asylum claim and the people have refused to leave the country. I tend to believe this version, I just do not see a large scale operation during an election year.
