The nationwide campaign, to be carried out by U.S. 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. More than 100,000 families with both adults and children have made the journey across the southwest border since last year, though this migration has largely been overshadowed by a related surge of unaccompanied minors.

Why now?
******************************************
Well, if true, to have a token number of deportations in a futile effort to deflate the outrage partially fuelling the Trump & Cruz campaigns.

It won’t work...Americans will recognize it’s only smoke and mirrors and not substantial at all.

Deporting hundreds of families when hundreds of thousands have come in? Yeah, that math will work.
If they’re deporting anybody it’ll just be for show, leading up to the election.

Trying to make it seem like Trumps platform is irrelevant. Then they can go right back to open borders.

Remember how Obama warned the ISIS oil tank truck drivers in advance of that bombing raid. Expect team Obama to have notified the illegals well in advance of any raid so they call move out.
