President Trump called off a round of deportations slated to begin Sunday, saying he was delaying them for two weeks at the request of Democrats though he said both sides need to use the time to strike a broader deal on stopping new illegal immigrants.
The surprise move came just hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi requested the delay, calling the planned deportations too cruel.
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! the president said on Twitter.
Just hours earlier Mr. Trump had said he was committed to the deportations, calling them an important consequence.
When people come into our Country illegally, they will be DEPORTED! hed tweeted.
U.S. Immigration and Customs had sought to make good on that stance with plans to begin searching out and deporting thousands of illegal immigrants whod been ordered removed by a judge, have exhausted their cases, but are defying the orders.

You make a very good point!
I was with him on the stand-down on the Iran/drone issue.
Not on this, though. The illegals have had about a 30-month warning already. Head ‘em up; move ‘em out.
It’s a win-win either way. The dems do nothing and it’s their fault or the dems actually pass legislation closing some loopholes.
This roundup of people with final deportation orders shouldve been happening every day for the last 2 years. If we cant deport them who can we deport?!?! Im sick of all the political games....even by Trump. And no I dont think its genius because the Dems will get the blame. Everyone already knows who is to blame for this crap. The leftist Dems dont/wont care. All their games wont change anyones political minds. Meanwhile we still have millions upon millions of illegals running around the country spreading diseases and harming and killing Americans. Im sick of the games.
2 weeks is excessive. He could have given them 3 days. Why 2 whole weeks?
You are saying what Prof. Alan Desersh. has also been saying. I agree. This using legal tactics to address political issues has been going on since Watergate and has done nothing but hurt the country. It’s time both sides just stop it. But, they won’t as some people just can’t help themselves.
Two weeks seems like a lot of time. The democratic debates he will dominate because he has put forward a major ticking time bomb. He will own that stage and the 4th of July the following week.
he should have said no just to stick it to Pelosi.
Fourth of July Kumbaya.
That was before the surveillance state existed. That announcement lit up the boards so to speak on texts, emails and bank transfers/withdrawals from peeps with deportation orders wondering if they are on the list.
Same as the Iran strike announcement did on surveillance of the mullahs. How many of them checked into a bunker or safehouse in anticipation?
Now Trump looks reasonable and they are the warmongers.
In my perfect world he should have stuck it her every freakin day. I detest that witch. She has done sh*t to make this a better place. La Strega
Block what? Judge ordered deportations?
A judge ... the rats will find others to overrule the first judge ... there’s no way they are going to roll over.
or the dems actually pass legislation closing some loopholes.
Not happening.
No but she has enriched herself and her family at our country’s expense
Amnesty for all illegals.
Eliminate ICE.
Wide open border.
Instant citizenship and benes for anyone who wanders in.
Then she'll blame Trump for refusing to "compromise".
Yes 32 years in Congress net worth $79 million. Whats in your wallet?
Whether they do or don’t, it’s still on them.
In the meantime, how many with deportation orders sent emails or texts about the raids that can be sifted out over the next two weeks? How many moved or withdrew money using the same electronic device with the same ISP location?
If DJT uses the spy state on our behalf only half as well as BO did against us, we’ll be getting some results.
Too cruel, Nancy? How about the fact of those killed and seriously harmed by many of the illegals likley on the list of 2,000? wasn’t it extremely cruel to them and their families? yet youNancy want it to continue......
PDJT will be able to say he gave them every opportunity to do the right thing, but they did not.
Dont worry all chicken littles...Demoncrats have only one path to taking over, and its illegals voting...PDJT knows that and he knows there will be no agreement.
Nah. The Master Troller of the Universe does this to get the opposition to wear themselves out long before he does anything.
It’s similar to what is going on with Iran. By not hitting back right away he has them on full alert, General Quarters, and they can’t keep that up forever without becoming exhausted. Which they will. And then payback will come.
The No Borders caucus will yell and howl and organize and attract public attention. But since Trump will have done nothing they will look like fools as well as traitors. Do this a few times and pretty soon even the low information public will notice that there is an illegal alien problem, and they will wonder why the hell the illegals aren’t being deported. And that’s when Trump will move.
