President Donald Trump is delaying plans to deport illegal immigrants who violated court orders by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to give lawmakers time to reach a solution to the border crisis.

“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 posted on his Twitter on June 22.
