Trump says ICE raids will happen after July Fourth holiday 'unless we do something pretty miraculous'WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said the nationwide raids by immigration authorities that were delayed last week are planned to take place sometime after the July Fourth holiday.
Trump, during a news conference after the G-20 summit in Japan, said that was still the plan despite Congress being on recess this upcoming week. House Democrats have pointed to the recess — which would impede the House from passing a bill on the issue — as a reason to the delay the raids. The operation was set to take place in 10 major cities and was aimed at rounding up undocumented immigrants and deporting them, according to various media outlets, including The Washington Post.
"We could do it quickly, we could do it in a day, we could do it in an hour," Trump said."We could reform asylum very quickly."Kimimasa Mayama, EPA-EFE "If they thought it was hard to get in, they wouldn't be coming up," Trump said."So many lives would be saved."Donald Trump blasts Jimmy Carter as a 'nice man' but a 'terrible president'Trump vents to Putin at G-20 summit about frustration with reporters
