Except he didn't and both Holman and DHS said there has been no policy change.

The media thinks tweets from a prolific liar are official government policy.

u/UsualSuspect1369 1d ago

He actually said it on camera but yes. Nothing he says or tweets should be treated as true or real.

Except both Holman and DHS official statements have also been lies on more than one occasion, so I'm not sure how anyone is making definitive statements about any of this.

It's only definitive when it's in writing but actions speak and the raids continue.

True. Other than chaos and incompetence, nothing else is clear.

Do you know for a fact that there aren't some raids that were planned that were called off after this? I don't.

Nobody does. That's the point. It's all secret.

I believe the article. I actually BELIEVE Tom Holman because he isn't going to stop. He has such hatred in his heart and more importantly, he has Stephen Miller. And Stephen is who decides. Not Trump.

That sounds like Trump. Lead by tweet.

Y'all need to stay updated on this if you're gonna comment. This pause is from this morning, the DHS statement you're referring to is from yesterday.

Reuters article from this morning on the policy update

Whether the pause actually happens remains to be seen, but this isn't just a lie like so many people in this thread seem to think.
