 "Donald Trump delays raids on migrants, cites democrats' requests")
President Donald Trump put off for two weeks the start of a planned nationwide roundup of undocumented immigrants, tempering a vow made earlier Saturday to have them “removed from the country” starting next week.
Trump said he was acting “at the request of Democrats,” although immigration officials suggested that reports on the timing of the actions played a role.
The delay will give time “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,” Trump tweeted on Saturday. “If not, Deportations start!”
