And get this: they even got AP to "fact check" their story!

Problem is, it ain't true. ICE took to the internet to call these reports "dangerous and irresponsible", which, of course, is not new territory for WaPo. Further, ICE states: "These reports create mass panic and put communities and law enforcement personnel in unnecessary danger." ICE claims these are part of planned enforcement activities no different that what occurred under Obama.

Nice job WaPo, the "gold standard" for fake news.
Trump himself claimed that the increased deportations were his own doing. It is not the WashPost creating "mass panic and put communities and law enforcement personnel in unnecessary danger." It's der Trumpenfuhrer and his merry henchmen. Then there's this:

(AP) -- The Trump administration is considering a proposal to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants, including millions living nowhere near the Mexico border, according to a draft memo obtained by The Associated Press.

You still seem to have no concept of what fake news. Fake news is the myriad lies spewing from your Trumpenfuhrer's mouth yesterday, snowflake.
