President Donald Trump has said that he is delaying planned enforcement actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to remove thousands of illegal immigrants.
'At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border. If not, Deportations start!' Trump said in a tweet on Saturday afternoon.
Enforcement raids had been scheduled to begin at dawn on Sunday in at least 10 major cities, drawing furious protests from local Democrat officials who vowed to fight the deportations.
Trump had been adamant that the raids would go forward as recently as Saturday morning, and his stunning reversal on the ICE raids comes amid a tumultuous week in which it was revealed that he pulled back on a planned strike against Iran at the last minute after learning the casualty projections.

Sell me yours.
I just sent him a tweet that I would send him another $100 to his campaign if he accomplishes this. Personally, I feel this is futile.
That’s exactly what I told my husband last night. No reason to announce it unless they had prepositioned surveillance and data gathering all queued up.
Confusion and pressure with multiple goals in mind.
In 1955 I was in the Border Patrol when Eisenhower was mass deporting illegals via airlines, railroads and ships. I don’t recall the exact number. I don’t know how they managed to take them into custody then. We certainly didn’t have the manpower we do now. But we didn’t have the number then that we do now either. I used to ride the deportation trains from El Paso, TX to Marfa, TX where we were relieved by another crew. I believe they were destined to Brownsville and placed aboard ships.
God bless Im hes our only president, but unfortunately he is pulling this talk big but then last minute climb down/back down crap with North Korea situation and their provocations and clear obstinance, too, and its beginning to paint him as a paper tiger. I dont see it as some masterful negotiation tactics because it is not yielding results, just contempt and disdain from the bad guys. Hes not projecting follow-through strength, will and core commitment (as a Reagan or Bush 1 for example) to an established path but wobbling too much and equivocating last minute in my opinion.
Are we allowed to even say that on FR?
Halting a strike, and this. This shit is all classified secure... yet we are hearing about it before it starts. Almost like a former cia director running a opinion show on a global information apparatus. Fed through apparatus as valid until... ya... no.
This dude Trump plays these fools like fiddle. It will be octobevember efore these chuckle heads realize he changed up on the option he owns. As they respond, they get the left hook he set up.
If one believes the suspension of security clearance was not denied through beaucratic inefficiency, one is as dumb as those targeted, thinking they had real data. Hillary taught us where thse pigs rut. If the Chinese and Soviet know, maybe we should too.
Trump is many things, but It is the rare president who can literally negate a house session. These freaks leftists chasing their tails to kill the dog... genius. The communist and Islamist are so frail, we can kill them at leisure, but do not. It is an optics thing.
Eventually someone will document the past three years, and sell it as a comedy drama script, or some freakish spy novel
It will be rejected, as implausible.
They have a Mule, and know it.
Because it is true.
Check the precinct list of registered voters where these people resided. If they’re on that list, Federal crime, charge them and those that enabled this
trump can talk the talk but he cant walk the walk
I will bet that absolutely none of that is happening.
If the President was serious, instead of complaining about all the sanctuary politicians, he would start charging them with a few of the crimes they are committing. Or maybe even shut down all immigration as he has absolute authority to do, or even declare the invasion an invasion and militarily close the border.
He needs to quit telegraphing ever decision and inviting them to dissuade him. The democrats will never bargain away this issue, ever.
We like to think that Trump is just extending the rope all around him but, I mostly just feel like Linus in the pumpkin patch.
Like a Q tip without a platform and all that etc....
I want it bad and I want it now!!!!
Trump for Dictator!!!!!
This should be non negotiable. what a wuss!
How disappointing.
Well it works on you Bob, you still think he is building the wall and deporting the illegals when in fact he is deporting fewer and allowed in more, than Obama did.
Did you wait and see what he was going to do to Iran too?
I would suggest you read Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Donald Trump's business adaptation of Sun Tzu's strategies The Art of The Deal and then argue that what we're seeing is "all talk, no action." Well-led and prepared armies win wars before they are fought, and their greatest victories are won without firing a shot.
Regarding tariffs, did you notice that Mexico capitulated when faced with the immediate certainty of punitive tariffs? That was a resounding victory for President Trump and for the United States of America. It is apparent that Democrats believed President Trump was going to proceed round-up raids of fugitive illegals, so now they want to negotiate. That's a win, no shots fired. And if they back away, let the raids go forward. This man is a leader.
That is the worst form of straw man argument and you know it. It pops up whenever anyone questions the questions a Presidential Non-decision. Reminds me of the Better Red Than Dead crowd.
What do you think all those profiling charges came up? They had to quit stopping probable illegals, you know like Mexicans that didn't speak English and start harassing white guys.
PDJT will be able to say he gave them every opportunity to do the right thing, but they did not.
Did you notice that Trump capitulated ad accepted a promise? Probably not but I hope they actually keep their promise, we shall see, uh, maybe.
Surprise, surprise.
Dumb statement.
