President-elect Donald Trump ’s border czar Tom Homan has told GOP lawmakers to temper expectations for the initial deportation operation, sources say.

Homan and lawmakers are using current government funding levels to craft a plan that targets between 1 and 2 million undocumented immigrants.

Trump has vowed to launch the largest deportation operation in history, telling Time Magazine in December he believes there will be “probably 15 and maybe as many as 20 million ” undocumented immigrants in the US by the time he takes office.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 271,484 immigrants last fiscal year under Obama .

Republicans say they have to start somewhere, and argue that once the deportations under Trump start, there is a serious likelihood that undocumented immigrants will self-deport.

Groups of Republicans are scheduled to be at Mar-a-Lago this weekend to meet with Trump directly.
