President Trump announces delay in immigration raids that were set to begin Sunday.
Phil McCausland and Julia Ainsleyplans to begin mass immigration raids SundayThe president said on Twitter that"at the request of Democrats" the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency would delay the planned mass raids targeting people with deportation orders.
Trump claimed on Twitter that he approved the delay so that Democrats and Republicans in Congress could work out a compromise on immigration policy — a deal that has so far long eluded the president and his allies. Trump said the deal would have to solve “the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border.
"These families are hard-working members of our communities and our country," Pelosi said."The President’s action makes no distinction between a status violation and committing a serious crime. It is important that the President and our immigrant communities know that they have rights in America."
