美國考慮開始驅逐非法移民的計劃

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security could begin deporting families in the country illegally by early January, according to a published report.

有媒體報道，美國國土安全部可能從明年1月初開始驅逐非法移民家庭。

The Washington Post reported late Wednesday that the U.S. is preparing a series of raids that would target families who have come to the United States illegally since the start of last year.

華盛頓郵報星期三晚間報道說，美國有關當局正準備展開一系列突襲，目標是自去年年初以來非法進入美國的家庭。

The paper, citing unnamed sources, says the nationwide campaign by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement could start as early as January 2016.

華盛頓郵報援引匿名消息人士的話說，美國移民及海關執法局最早將於2016年1月在全國範圍內展開驅逐行動。

The report says it would be the first large-scale effort to deport the more than 100,000 families who have entered the country through the southern border since last year. Many of those families were fleeing violence in Central America.

報道說，這將是美國當局首次採取大規模行動，驅逐去年以來越過南部邊界非法進入美國的10萬多個家庭。其中很多家庭進入美國是爲了逃離中美洲的暴力。

But the Post says the operation is expected to target only adults and children who have already been ordered by an immigration judge to leave the country, and the operation has not been given final approval by the Department of Homeland Security.

不過，華盛頓郵報也表示，預計這次行動只針對那些已被移民法官勒令離境的成人及兒童，而且這項行動尚未得到國土安全部的最後批准。
