But after NBC News reported the plans late Thursday, the agency issued a statement saying it had cancelled nationwide enforcement actions due to Hurricane Irma and the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey.

"While we generally do not comment on future potential law enforcement actions, operational plans are subject to change based on a variety of factors," ICE spokesman Sarah Rodriguez said in a statement. "Due to the current weather situation in Florida and other potentially impacted areas, along with the ongoing recovery in Texas, U.S.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had already reviewed all upcoming operations and has adjusted accordingly. There is currently no coordinated nationwide operation planned at this time. The priority in the affected areas should remain focused on life-saving and life-sustaining activities."

It could be that they are still doing it but they just want to fool people. Who knows... in any case, I would not worry about it.

It'd be very bad for them if they accidentally deported some DACA people.

After reading the article and the ICE statement, how I interpret it is that they're calling it off for the areas affected by the hurricanes. I really do hope I'm wrong. Also, even though they say they were to target "criminals", everyone without protection can become collateral, as they call it
