Trump ordered, targets migrant families that have already received deportation on twitter trump said the about face came at the request of democrats while warning that unless Congress Finds a solution uon the. mexico border, deportation starts. But two Homeland Security officials tell nbc news tt the raids were called off largely because details of the plaea were lked to the media and because i. C. E. Did not have plans in place to detain up to thousands more immigrants. Thats as new reporting paints a bleak and disturbing picture of conditions for immigrant children being held at a Border Patrol facility near el paso, texas. Lawyers who interviewed 60 children there telling the Associated Press there is not enough food,te wa or sanitation. According to the lawyers, three girls, ages 10 to 15, said they had been taking turns keeping watch over a stick 2yearold boy because there was no one else to look after him.

Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the p chuck, good morning. We heard about the cyberattack. Yet the president pulled back on the military strike. T chuck, wha the end game here . I mean, what is the u. S. Strategy for moving forward . Well, there isnt a. S. Rategy. I think there is a trump strategy and there is a separate trump admintetration st. I dont think the two are always, the two are not always in sync. Sometimes they are in conflict, and i think on this one. In the intervi i had with the president , its pretty clear to me what he wants. He wants direct talks. He wants to make a deal with iran. He was critical of president obamas deal etch wants to have his own deal. Heet some parameters of what he wants. I think he wants to talk. I think he sees himself as a grand deal maker, and thats what he wants to do similar to kim jong un in what he did with north korea. There isnt thisur singular fig in iran that he can create a personal relationship with that he has done with kim jong un, i and think that that is why he cant get there. What i cant figure out isf i his goal talks, why have such hawkish advisors. At said, i think thats why he had the dramatic moment. I think he wanted to show the iranians, see, you deal with me, not them. Thats interesting because thats something that a lot of voters are also talking about on the ground. You just heard fromarrett haake. We know that the first 2020 democratic debate is just days away, and you are one of the moderators. So what is it, chuck, that youea want to h interest the candidates . I think its sort of, because there are so many of them on there, it is one of these, why are you doing . Sthere are many other qualied people. I am wondering among the lower tiered candidates, why you . Is this the donald trump effect that we have 24 people on the stage and we eliminate it to0 . Why them . What is it about others that are running that have you dissatisfied that ynk it has to be you first or second or third term congressman. There is a little bit of that i am intereste in. But then there is the alpredictability factor. I c it the yolo factor, you only live once. Some of those candidates will only be o the stage once. We may not know what to expect from some of these candidates and their intent ong creatin a first impression. Yolo, chuck. We will be looking on wednesday. Chuck, have a great rest of your morning.
