Trump says he will hold off on planned ICE raids for now

After the defending his plan to deport undocumented immigrants on Saturday, Trump hours later tweeted that he “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.”

The tweet comes after immigration advocates and officials in some major U.S. cities condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids aimed at rounding up thousands of families facing deportation orders beginning Sunday.

Speaking from the White House lawn before departing for Camp David, Trump said that “exportation raids are groups of very, very good law enforcement people going by the law, going by our court system taking people out who came in illegally and out legally.”

He anticipated that “some cities are going to fight it,” but claimed that the resistance was from sanctuary cities, which, along with some states, have policies aimed at protecting undocumented immigrants from deportation.

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!

1. He's holding a proverbial gun to people's heads

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. He is, but not to Democrats heads, like he thinks he is. It's his main play:

1. Over-ask by several factors

2. Threaten by vicious snarls or tweets. Threaten with abusive presidential force or with endless litigation.

3. After several cycles of back and forth, pull back and settle for something a bit less than what a real negotiator would have obtained in a third of the time.

[dixiegrrrrl]

24. 4. cover your capitulation by saying what a good win it was

and only He could have pulled it off, 'cause no one else in the history of whole world ever did it, esp. Obama.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. Wtf kind of president acts like such an idiot. Thankful no one will get hurt this weekend..

But isn’t a raid supposed to be secret?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. What kind? Minority ignorant kind who steal things like Electoral Colleges. Empty suits. . . . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. "Raid" was leaked on purpose & propagandized. It's fascist FEAR tactic: keep most people FEARFUL. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Domestic terrorism.

[pazzyanne]

21. Apparently the pResident does not know that anger is a secondary emotion to fear.

Right now I have never been more angry. I have spend today in an e-mail to everyone and any one that I can think of to e-mail. THIS IS NOT OKAY! I want the pResident out of office now!

[dixiegrrrrl]

29. and the fear is always about a perceived loss of something

tangible or not.


His brain has to be spinning 100 mph to cover all his fears. which maybe why he only sleeps half the night

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. Good point...how is he even able to put a suit and LONG

Red tie on? He absolutely knows he is doing wrong.,.. otherwise what would he say he was fucked with Mueller in charge? Why would he put Barr as a road blocker? It means he knows what he is doing and therefore is absolute evil.

But the sheer work involved of covering all the bases and keep his sexual victims at bay...is a pretty damn amazing achievement.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Backed down again, did he?

[ancianita]

4. Just to manipulate hope he's a good guy; to make people passively wait for him, ONLY him, to do

the right thing.

Fuck this fatassfake -- pulling back internationally, pulling back domestically -- pulling back like his father should have.

[Talitha]

18. "-- pulling back like his father should have"

[spike jones]

5. Two weeks would put it near the Fourth of July. what a coincidence.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Yup. First thing I thought about!

FREEDUMSSSS!!111!!!!!!! (for some)

[jvill]

6. That's two!

What's the next half-backed, self-inflicted crisis that Trump will call off at the last minute?

Commanding the border patrol to seize California's forest rakers union?
A press conference declaring war on windmill ear cancer?
Demanding emergency surgery for whatever is growing on Don Jr.'s face..?

[RobinA]

35. Empty Threats

are his MO. He’s been doing it forever, only now he’s on a bigger stage, so it’s more dangerous. One of these days he’s going to accidently start a war with his threats.

[SunSeeker]

7. Showing, once again, he was just talking out his ass. nt

[jpak]

8. Which Democrats?

[PSPS]

10. "exportation raids"

[yaesu]

13. too late hiltler, the damage is done.nt

[procon]

15. Trump lied... Again? LOL

Did he ever really have any plans for all those raids, or was he just blowing smoke out of his ads to impress the yokels?

And just what Dems could ever convince Trump to cease and decist from his latest act of stupidity? If this was true, Trump would have staged a photo op in the Ross Garden to poke at them.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. I expect they were being planned - by the affected field offices

Staff were juggling their schedules and managers were getting together coverage for the direct report's regular routine activities while time-keepers and administrative staff were preparing for the inevitable overtime/travel reporting... And then.... poof!

I heard on the local news radio station when this story broke that he got on Marine One after blurting out what he had tweeted and headed off to Camp David (which is concerning when this one goes there).

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Ya...he hates the earthiness of Camp David. My guess

Is that someone in the chain said no..and he wants two weeks because that's what he told the dissenter..."I'll give you two weeks to make this happen!"

[BumRushDaShow]

36. I think I read that much of discomfort with Camp David was also because

the golf course was not acceptable.

[mnhtnbb]

19. He probably heard from the WH Kitchen that if he went ahead

the local McDonald's that provides all his big macs would have to shut down. Maybe KFC, too.

He only does or does not do something because of how he is affected.

The guy is such a fu*king a$$hole.

[underpants]

20. Only 10 minutes to spare

Good but come on, this is his second "pump fake" of the weAk for Mr Tough Guy.

[truthisfreedom]

22. This is how narcissists work: manufacture crisis, pretend to avert crisis

Rinse, lather...

[LogicFirst]

23. First I say

I will, but then I won't.

[locks]

25. He's all heart, that guy

Hope and pray that none of our immigrant families will die from fear the next two weeks, that the sick children at the border will survive and that all good Dems will come out in force and vote this poor excuse of a human being out of office.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. And our Dems need to step up and fund a bipartisan

bill of humanitarian aid for migrants at the border! Fuck politics on this one.

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

26. By backing down, he hopes to look merciful

Merciful and benevolent. Which, of course, is bullshit.

[Thomas Hurt]

27. Whatever Democrats he is talking about should tell him to go f**k himself....

we all know how he negotiates on immigration issues.

[murielm99]

28. He's getting pushback,

so he is backtracking.

It's like when Mom yells at the kids upstairs, "Don't make me come up there!"

[brush]

30. Why that's two self-created crises he's backed off from and...

styled himself as hero who then resolves the problem.

Who believes a word this liar says—especially in the Iran situation where he says he didn't know of the potential casualties that would result until the last minute.

[BigmanPigman]

34. Psycho threats: Enormous tariffs, closing Southern border, bombing our enemies, etc...

He creates chaos and it driving the country off a cliff for his own pleasure. What a sick fuck he is!

[orangecrush]

37. Psycho

[Politicub]

38. He's a monster. He's making people's mental health and well being his playthings.

It's no wonder that he can sleep at night with children in concentration camps. They are part of his entertainment.
