Trump postpones immigration sweep after Pelosi's request
The Washington Times ^ | June 21, 2019 | Stephen Dinan

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!” he’d 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 who’d been ordered removed by a judge, have exhausted their cases, but are defying the orders.

Another threat brings an opponent back to the table.

Perhaps that was the point all along?

Outrageous and his statement means he doesn’t want to deport anyone who’s here. Very disheartening.

The Democrat positions on immigration are all losers. I think the deal with Mexico was a game changer.

Trump already knows the Dems won’t budge. This way he looks magnanimous, and he can start rounding up the illegals saying he tried to work with the Dems, but they didn’t want to.

Delay 2 weeks? What kind of an ambush do Nasty Pelosi & Schumer have planned?

Trump may have been using the announcement as leverage for something. Dunno.

Depends on what Trumps gets for the delay.

Yah,as if Bella Pelosi actually intends to deliver whatever she might have offered him in return.

We must remember that today's Rat Party is the "By Any Means Necessary" Party.

Why accede to the request of a woman who recently accused you of engaging in a coverup and declaring that you ought to be in prison???

Bella Pelosi doesn’t deserve to be given the time of day.

In two weeks the Rats will have their cases filled and the judges lined up to block the whole thing.

This anti-American BS has been going on for decades. What's the problem with giving President Trump 2 weeks to maneuver the DIMs/LIBs/RINOs into figuratively hanging themselves?

There is no one in here that knows the exact reason the President delayed this...Just like no one in here knows exactly who leaked the “raid” information...
Everyone leaps to conclusions without waiting to see what turns out...

How many times has this happened in here when in a few days, it turns out what President Trump did or said was the correct thing to do????

Hi.

“Bella Pelosi doesn’t deserve to be given the time of day.”

She needs to be tar and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

Imho.
