his week's big leak about a major Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation was orchestrated by acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan in an effort to sabotage the raids before they were scheduled to take place, according to three current and two former senior administration officials.
In a move he said was to placate Democrats, President Trump announced on Saturday that the nationwide immigration enforcement operation planned to start Sunday — aimed at migrant families who illegally remain in the country despite being denied asylum — was called off to give lawmakers two weeks to work on a plan to fix legal “loopholes” he said have enticed migrants to come to the U.S.
However, all five officials who spoke with the Washington Examiner confirmed McAleenan's decision to go rogue and stymie the operation was what prompted the White House to call off the 10-city operation.

Is there any lawful law, in DC?
Some of the younger ICE agents are probably googling “fragging” tonight.
That, plus I would have the IG audit every dime this insubordinate turd ever put of an expense report, hoping to find a way to drop some criminal charges on him. And I’d. make sure he knows, so he spends a few months not sleeping well.
Sounds like another Deep State Douchebag. He was highly recommended by Bush43 & Obama officials to be the head of CBP, a position he still holds in addition to acting DHS secretary. That should have been an alarm signal.
We have 100,000 a month at least entering, we need to be topping that number in removals.
Same thing these evil monsters did to Seal Team Six. They cannot be in government. They ruin the whole concept of government.
Trump may need two weeks to come up with a proportional response.
I like it
If President Trump ONLY choose his cabinet and inner circle from those who post and frequent this website alone, there would be more than enough fire breathing patriots available who would sacrifice everything for this country.
There are at least 60 million of like minded people in the lower 48.
No dp0622, the pool pf trustworthy people is quite large.
And I will bet money that you’re one of them.
I’ll believe it when President Trump confirms it. Unnamed sources, two of which are former officials? I’ll wait before I accuse.
How do you know he was not?
Agreed. I’d love for Trump to tap patriot FReepers. Lots of experience and lots of WILL to burn off the leeches. Set the Citizens loose on DC!
I opine: There are many qualified patriots outside the Beltway, but they are not connected to the movers and shakers. Trump listens to his leftist in-laws and swampish insiders, and has been convinced that only those who are connected (tainted) can get any cooperation from the apparatchiks.
Have security escort him out and take away all his credentials.
Spot on, typical MSM trial balloon with “unnamed sources”
And IF they are current employees of the Government then they are being smoked out
This in my experience is the Corporate version of the “Telephone” game...
You take the leaders of and organization and tell each a different version and then see what if anything comes out and match the answer to the leader and all subordinates
This is the only way to figure out who is on the team and who might be heading for Gitmo
Game On!
Is McLeenan the fall guy, set up by the deep state? If not, he needs jail not an unemployment check.
Guys are getting removed all the time from these agencies.
It could be that way.
Even here, we seem to have deep state posters come out of the woodwork when certain topics are brought up.
I think most normal people aren’t particularly enthused about working in DC and acquiring the kind of experience expected of these positions. And we’ve had decades of open borders globalists filling key positions with swamp rats.
No one said it would be easy.
BTW, I do NOT think that Pence will do anything differently than GWB if he ever wins. I’ll never forget what he did as IN governor over the bill to protect Christian businesses.
