U.S. immigration officials are planning a month-long series of raids in May and June to deport hundreds of Central American mothers and children found to have entered the country illegally, according to sources and an internal document seen by Reuters.

The operation would likely be the largest deportation sweep targeting immigrant families by the administration of President Barack Obama this year after a similar drive over two days in January that focused on Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina.

Those raids, which resulted in the detention of 121 people, mostly women and children, sparked an outcry from immigration advocates and criticism from some Democrats, including the party's presidential election frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

Obama ordering a token deportation of a few Central Americans to try and take the issue away from Trump.

Token raids from the token president to help the token Hillary.

I want the real thing in massive numbers. But in doing this Obama screws up - he shows it could be done and done easily.

The “largest” sweep netted a whopping 121...

They could spend a day in Manassas and get more than that by visiting Walmart.

And p*sses-off the very Hispanic voters the Dems claim to need. Works for me.

At 121 a day it would take 453 years to get rid of 20 million

Let’s see, let 100,000 in deport a hundred in for a photo op.

Seems about right.

Forget about the women and children for now, go after the dealers, gangs, thieves and murderers.

“mothers and children”

Yea, I’m sure that describes most of the illegals. Just like the “refugees” were mostly “widows and orphans”.

This is nothing but a photo-op to show crying women and children!

Hillary assumed she had the migrant sympathy vote locked up but those numbers don't appear to match or exceed Trump's support numbers when discussing 'build the wall'. This is just another desperate narrative spun of whole yarn ... just as the Benghazi film fiasco. It appears the same folks responsible for conjuring false narratives while she was SoS have followed her to her campaign for POTUS 2016 and haven't improved their skill set.

Yes, they are going to deport them from Guatemala and import them HERE.

Note the “women and children” thing. They are going to create the crisis, then solve it; by invoking this policy, then holding it in abeyance when the howls get loud enough. In the end, it will be a piece of kabuki and be seen as “standing up for the oppressed”.

It’s only a matter of watching how it plays out. It is theater. Bad theater.

May have been a token gesture but Hilly staked out her opposition according to the article:”criticism from some Democrats, including the party’s presidential election frontrunner Hillary Clinton.”

This was intended to show her solidarity with illegals or more directly with the illegal immigration special interests in the Democratic party and Latino activist groups. How heroic of her! She stood up to big meany Presidente.

A transparent ploy to gin up a public outcry against deportation. Talk about a war on women.

What a sad, sad excuse for a man.

Round up and deport the thieves and drug runners and sex slavers and rapists and drunk driving murderers. See what public response is after those cretins are outa here.

I can see Hillary getting fake angry and doing a “sister soulja” moment against Obama on deportations.

" The planned new raids are in response to a renewed surge of illegal entries by Central American women traveling with their children."

Long on "planned" and short on execution if past performance is any indicator.
