As revealed in a recent Washington Post article, the Department of Homeland Security plans to begin targeted raids in the New Year:
"The nation-wide campaign, to be carried out by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as soon as early January, would be the first large-scale effort to deport families who have fled violence in Central America, those familiar with the plan said."
The article states that the plan would concentrate on adults and children who have already been ordered to repatriate by an immigration judge, while admitting that due to disorganization, many were unaware of the orders.
