Immigration raids is out of character. I hope the Dems aren't cutting a deal with him.

(49,945 posts)5. ICE raids delayed ahead of Pence's 'Latinos for Trump' rollout in Miami
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/ice-raids-delayed-ahead-of-pences-latinos-for-trump-roll-out-in-miami
Days before the launch of his Trump for Latinos campaign in Miami, President Donald Trump postponed immigration raids today planned to begin Sunday on migrant communities across the country.
Immigrant advocates, the families and people they aim to protect, law enforcement officials and governments across the nation had all been preparing for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to conduct large-scale raids, after Trump threatened to deport millions, earlier this week. Then in tweets on Saturday, Trump first maintained that only people who were given notice to leave because of their status would be detained, then dropped plans entirely, citing a two-week deadline for U.S.-Mexico border policy.
Vice President Mike Pence is also scheduled to be in Miami, one of the 10 cities where ICE planned to conduct its operations, for the Trump for Latinos campaign to embrace Hispanic voters.
Thomas Wenski, Archbishop of Miami, said while the postponement may provide some reprieve, though not a solution, he does not doubt the optics of Pence campaigning in Miami while the raids were still happening was likely a factor in Trumps decision to postpone.
I think what the President also realized was that ICE didnt have the logistical ability to carry off what he wanted to carry off, Wenski said, noting that ICE detention centers across the country are full. To do this would be to divert resources from the border, so he runs the risk of making things worse.

He will come in but wants it to be a public statement only and then testimony behind closed doors. I'm guessing the discussions Schiff alludes to are revolving around those parameters.
