Trump Doral hosts Republican policy retreat while tensions with Colombia ease (includes video story)

President Trump prepares to meet with House Republicans in Trump National Doral today as a feud with Colombia over deportation flights settles. 

Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s president, refused to accept two flights from the U.S. Both leaders ultimately threatened hikes on tariffs.  

Meanwhile, federal agencies are tracing undocumented immigrations on behalf of the Trump administration.  

From Puerto Rico to Chicago, almost a thousand arrests and more than 500 detainers were reported, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan said this was a game changer in addressing illegal immigraiton. 

“If you’re here illegally, if you broke our laws, then you’re going to be targeted,” said Scott Jennings, former adviser to Sen. Mitch McConnell.
