1. Trump delays deportation operation

President Trump on Saturday said that he will delay a planned operation to remove undocumented immigrants from the United States. Trump said that he is doing so "at the request of the Democrats." He added that the plan is to allow Democrats and Republicans to work together on a solution to issues concerning the southern border. If that is not accomplished, he said, deportations will start. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was reportedly set to begin the operation on Sunday, with the goal of targeting up to 2,000 migrant families across the country. Three officials told The Associated Press that the operation was canceled because details having been leaked to the media meant officer safety could be jeopardized.
