June 29 (UPI) — President Donald Trump said his postponed immigration raids in 10 major cities could start up on Independence Day unless “something pretty miraculous” happens in Congress on immigration reform.
Trump said during a news conference on Saturday at the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan that he was not optimistic about anything happening before then. Trump on June 22 postponed the raids for two weeks at the request of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats.
“Unless we do something pretty miraculous, but the Democrats, it seems to me, they want to have open borders,” Trump said. “And for the life of me, I cannot figure that out. It’s one thing because I want people to come to our country. We need them because we have all these companies coming in.
“… The only problem is that they have to come in through a process. They have to come in legally. It’s also very unfair. You have millions of people online for years trying to get into a country. … But, yeah, we will be removing large numbers of people. People have to understand,” the president continued.
Before they were postponed, the raids appeared to target Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York and San Francisco, based on cases filed in 10 immigration court locations.
The House passed a $4.6 billion emergency border funding bill Thursday that had previously passed the Senate. Pelosi said she “reluctantly” moved the Senate bill forward after threatening to alter the legislation. The bill is now waiting for Trump’s signature.

This would be a wonderful was to celebrate the holiday!
Open borders = no borders = no sovereign nation = no America.
EXACTLY what the Delusional Lying Left and the Democrat party want.
Why announce the raids. Just do it.
ICE raids need to start now and continue forever - enforce the law!
Wait until the next day, so the ICE agents can celebrate the 4th of July with their families.
You don’t lose anything by starting it on the 5th.
Well, it’s certainly a patriotic thing to do!
The article does not offer any reasoning as to why they think the raids will begin on the 4th of July weekend.
Yeah, let’s have the “last float” in the 4th of July Parades a paddy wagon full of illegals. with ICE Agents as “Marshals.”
Tired of TALK, how about just action and THEN reporting RESULTS? Talk is cheap. I want to see deportations, millions.
Again with the announcing it advance. WTH?
The thought occurred to me early this morning that, rounding up illegals on the 4th would be a nice “Happy Birthday America” to me.
or.. catch them off guard..
start on the 3rd.
bttt
The sooner the better.
He’s just growing and growing in their heads....It’s laughable...He does this sort of thing on purpose...
He didn’t “announce” it the first time...It was a leak...But this time, he did it on purpose just to get into their heads...He’s so damn good at this....
exactly. Strange as Trump himself often mentions about not telegraphing military strategy to tip off the enemy. Wonder why he is doing it here? Also, did the senate approve another multi BILLION $$$$ deal for illegals on the border? How do they get this money and nothing for the border wall even with Trump winning on most fronts?
Agree. Quit bluffing. Quit telegraphing your actions. Quit taking shit to court. Quit abiding by court decisions where the court has no authority (which is 90 percent of the decisions concerning President Trumps actions.)
