Nationwide immigration raids that were postponed three weeks ago are now scheduled to begin on Sunday, two senior Department of Homeland Security officials told NBC News.
The mass raids, to be conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, are set to target roughly 2,000 families in major cities across the United States, the same 10 cities that were revealed under the previous plans, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and New York, the officials said.
The new timeline of the operation was first reported by The New York Times.
