'Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only,' the president wrote in a post on Twitter.
President Donald Trump on Friday confirmed that the White House is considering a plan to release detained immigrants in cities that have said they will shelter immigrants living in the country unlawfully.
"....The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy – so this should make them very happy!" the president wrote in a second tweet. Trump's announcement represents a complete reversal from the message his administration has issued so far about the plan. In a statement Thursday to reporters, a Homeland Security Department spokesman said the plan"was a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion."
