WP reported on the threat of deportation of 733 thousand schoolchildren in the U.S.
At least 733 thousand schoolchildren may be deported from the United States. This was reported by The Washington Post (WP) on Friday, January 25.
According to the newspaper, migration services are unlikely to bypass schools, hospitals and churches when searching for illegal immigrants. U.S. residents are afraid to let undocumented children leave home, the newspaper added.
"There are 733,000 undocumented school-age children living in the United States," the newspaper said in its article.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that the number of crossings of the southern border by illegal migrants in the United States has fallen sharply in the first days of the administration of President Donald Trump. It was specified that the reduction amounted to 35%.
On the eve of the TV channel Fox News said that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement police for the first days of Donald Trump's presidency detained more than 460 illegal migrants, including those who had convictions for sexual and domestic violence, as well as for drug and weapons offenses.
On the same day, Trump restricted the eligibility of undocumented migrants who entered the U.S. through the southern border. The US President authorized and instructed the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and the State Department to take all necessary measures to immediately repel the invasion, repatriation and removal of illegal immigrants through the southern border of the country.
That's when the media learned of U.S. plans to send thousands of military personnel to protect the border with Mexico. As of today, about 2.2 thousand military personnel are already on the border as part of Task Force North in El Paso, Texas.
