The President said he's giving Congress two more weeks to work together on immigration reform. But the Tweet ends with President Trump saying quote "if not. Deportations start."

ICE had planned to target San Francisco and nine other cities. That terrified many people living and working in places like the Mission District.

San Francisco Police issued a statement yesterday saying officers will not help ICE in any way during any immigration raids.

The Mayors of Oakland and San Jose also denounced the planned raids.
