Washington, July 12 (RHC)—In the United States, immigrant communities are bracing for nationwide raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement  (ICE) to begin on Sunday, planning protests and working with legal aid groups to provide advice to those affected.

The raids are expected to target recently arrived migrant families who have already received final orders of removal from an immigration judge.

Administration officials — and president Donald Trump himself — have made clear that the raids are imminent, and several media outlets have reported the raids are scheduled to start Sunday.

The raids are expected to focus on 10 major cities where the Department of Justice has sped up immigration cases for thousands of recent arrivals, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Houston.

Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Southern California and the New York Civil Liberties Union are filing a pre-emptive law suit, seeking to stop deportations of migrants.
