Washington (CNN) - Acting US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli said Monday he did not know the details of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting undocumented immigrants despite speaking extensively on the matter in the days leading up to the widespread operation.

Cuccinelli had previously discussed the operation last week, but told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day" Monday that he did "not have operational details" and said Matt Albence, the acting director of ICE, has not reported to him on how many arrests were made in the raids, which began on Sunday.

Asked by Camerota why he did not know the details of the raids, Cuccinelli said "presumably because operational details are kept contained within the agency executing the operation, as they should be."

Last week, however, Cuccinelli indicated to reporters at the White House that he was familiar with the operation.

Nobody has given him his lines to speak yet, and the script aide is on a break.
