President Trump said his administration would delay a series of immigration raids in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities aimed at rounding up and deporting thousands of families.
“I’m tired. I’m done,” said Carmen, an undocumented 17-year-old living in Los Angeles. “What else is he gonna tweet? Tomorrow is he gonna say, ‘Just kidding, we’re starting the raids again’?”
“I think it is so cruel what he is doing,” she said of Trump. What was particularly striking was the “level of dishonesty, in that he’s using the fear and people as leverage for his demands on Congress.” In 2017, he announced he would terminate an Obama-era program that protected so-called Dreamers — young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children — in a failed attempt to pressure Congress to pass an immigration bill that included new restrictions on legal immigration.
Earlier in the day, Pelosi had called on faith leaders to try to stop the Sunday raids — a day of religious services in many communities, she noted. The agency added that “the President’s postponement protects [ICE] officers and provides an opportunity for Congress to swiftly work together in a bipartisan fashion to end the incentives for child smuggling and ensure all illegal aliens can be promptly returned upon apprehension at the southern border.”
