Acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Ken Cuccinelli would not say Sunday whether expected Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids would separate families.

Cuccinelli discussed the raids on CNN's "State of the Union," but told host Jake Tapper he is not willing to discuss operational details, which, he said, would put ICE officers in danger.

Among specifics Cuccinelli would not respond to was guaranteeing families won't be separated in the impending raids.

"In the same way I wasn't willing to talk about operation details .... I won't comment on that," he said, of family separation. "There are 1 million people, including families, with removal orders."

Tapper asked how a pledge to not separate families is "operational."

"I'm not going to say yes or no to anything like that, because then certain people can write themselves off ... or play a loophole," Cuccinelli responded.

1. I'll take that as a "Yes" on family separations.

The cruelty is the point.
