President Trump announced he would delay for two weeks an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation that would have deported as many as 2,000 migrant families.

Trump said the delay would allow for negotiations on Capitol Hill regarding immigration reform.

“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!” Trump tweeted.

But past talks have proved fruitless, as both Democrats and Republicans remain dogged by disagreements about funding for enforcement efforts at the border, among other issues.

The plan, which was first reported this week, was set to involve pre-dawn raids Sunday morning in cities with major immigrant communities, including Houston, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles. The operation would target migrant families who have already received deportation orders.
