Trump Intervenes After Overnight ICE Order Sparks Base Revolt: ‘No One Is Off the Table’

Last night, panic spread across social media as reporters claimed the Trump Administration had decided to only arrest illegals who had criminal charges pending or convictions. That was a big change from 'anyone here illegally needs to go home'.

Voters who elected Trump to deport illegals were justifiably angry.

SCOOP: ICE officers across the country were told this weekend to stop arresting non-criminals, agency sources tell @realDailyWire

Now, ICE may only arrest illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges for the time being, said the sources.

This is not what voters elected Trump to do.

I’ve spoken on the phone with President Trump and nine ICE & DHS sources about this today. Here’s what I’ve learned.

Yes, this verbal guidance did go out to ICE offices across the country last night. I’ve spoken with ICE agents who received it & were shocked & frustrated by it.… https://t.co/BVGsEbvjCu

Bill Melugin spoke with President Trump directly to get to the heart of the matter. He says this guidance did indeed go out and ICE agents were not happy. Then, the guidance changed and there were claims it was a misunderstanding.

Whatever went wrong, the Trump Administration has made it clear the deportations will continue to happen.

We better see someone fired as this guidance was issued 👇

There seems to be no doubt the guidance did go out. Someone needs to figure out why and then people need to be held responsible.

Seems like someone is trying to wedge Trump’s immigration agenda behind the scenes and I don’t like this one bit. https://t.co/FOvJ2uE9I0

It's up to President Trump to rein it in.

So this sounds like Mark Wayne Mullin got over his skis again.

Trump just told @BillMelugin_ we aren’t scaling back immigration enforcement https://t.co/wCBE2h4KEY

I'm glad to see that public reaction is leading to this being walked back.

It's not important to pick holes in the obvious contradictions and claims of miscommunication.

People need to continue to push back any time walking back the focus on deportations happens.

Every single illegal alien is being deported. Every. Single. One.
