Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump on Monday night issued a vague threat to deport "millions" of undocumented immigrants next week, falling short of providing any additional details and surprising officials within his own administration. Trump said the agency will begin deporting undocumented immigrants "as fast as they come in," and called on congressional Democrats to address the "border crisis." "Not a lot of happy faces" around the Department of Homeland Security, a senior administration official told CNN, as the President essentially announced an operation before it was put into action. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 18, 2019The senior administration official said the department is in the planning phase for an operation aimed at stepping up the deportation of undocumented immigrants. The expected operation will be on a "different scale" than what the public has previously seen from the department, the official said, as it will target undocumented families.
