President Trump To Delay Planned ICE Raids After Reports Of Scheduled Raids In Baltimore, Other Cities

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- President Trump announced Saturday that he will delay planned weekend federal immigration raids.

President Trump tweeted that he has delayed the process for two weeks to "see if Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border."

Baltimore was among the listed cities that were expecting ICE raids this weekend.
