Three separate "US officials who have knowledge of the plans" have said that "the family op" is going to start rolling in ten cities, including seven sanctuary cities, probably before you read this on Sunday morning.
There are apparently / allegedly about 2,000 family groups targeted. They have all exhausted their legal appeals and have a valid deportation order against them. Some of them were going thru the appeals system and had a government supplied lawyer but cut and ran instead of going thru the process.
Allegedly the pre-dawn at-home raids are deliberately intended to NOT separate families. Work-place hits or daytime sweeps might get parents but miss children who are out and about.
ICE is planning on renting blocks of hotel rooms as temporary holding facilities for the family groups until the families can be fully assembled and shipped out.
They also expect they will snag up a few illegals without deportation orders, who will be tagged with ankle monitors and then released. (I like the exploding collars from that old Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, but that's just me.)
By Sunday evening we should have some idea how effective this looks like it's going to be, and how much of a shit storm will accompany the move.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Wishful thinking there, Bob. On Saturday Trump called it off like he called off the strike on Iran.
