The US immigration police will launch Sunday a massive operation of arresting illegal immigrants. Usually these operations are not announced in advance so as not to alert the targeted people. But President Donald Trum himself confirmed the information on Friday, July 12th.

With our correspondent in Washington, Anne Corpet

Donald Trump had already announced on Twitter more than a month ago the imminent arrest of thousands of illegal immigrants. He had finally given up the operation in the face of the reluctance of immigration officials who denounced a lack of means and saturated reception facilities.

This time, the president even gave the date of the beginning of these massive arrests. " It's a major operation. It will begin Sunday. We are going to challenge thousands of people, especially gang members. So we will specifically look for bad things, but we will also look for people who have entered this country illegally. They broke the rules, they have to leave, "said Donald Trump.

According to the press, ten major American cities will be targeted by police operations. Democrats denounce inhumane and unnecessary roundups, which only result in spreading terror in the immigrant community.
