The officials, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media, said Border Patrol's operations in the Northern California area could start as early as later this week, but that the timing could shift.
The U.S. officials said Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, one of the most visible faces of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, is expected to be involved in the operation. Bovino is currently leading Border Patrol arrests in Chicago, where a judge on Monday ordered him to answer questions about agents' use of force during those operations. He also oversaw the agency's controversial immigration raids in the Los Angeles area this summer.
In a video posted on social media Wednesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, denounced the Trump administration's plans, accusing the president of seeking to create "conditions for anxiety" in American cities.
President Trump has recently floated the idea of dispatching federal agents to San Francisco.
On Wednesday, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said local residents would protest peacefully if the Trump administration uses "un-American tactics to target immigrant communities" in the area.
As part of an aggressive expansion in deportation efforts across the country, the Trump administration has deployed teams of Border Patrol agents to large, Democratic-led American cities far away from a U.S. border.
In recent weeks, Border Patrol has been carrying out immigration arrests throughout the Chicago area, sometimes as part of operations at worksites and public places that have garnered local backlash. Earlier in the year, Border Patrol launched a similar campaign in the Los Angeles area, arresting suspected unauthorized immigrants in Home Depot parking lots, car washes and other locations.
