Those targeted were previously granted voluntary departure, where they committed to leaving the U.S. on their own, without being deported. The procedure was expanded to include illegal immigrants who cannot prove they’ve lived in the U.S. for the last two years. ICE officials are expected to announce the results of their operation on Thursday.
