Immigrant deportation not on Trump’s agenda

According to CNN, Ryan said they’re not planning on “erecting a deportation force, (..) Donald Trump’s not planning on that”. Ryan said their most important priority is securing the country’s border, a claim which Trump confirmed on CBS’ “60 Minutes” Sunday night. He said that when it comes to deporting immigrants, the plan is to focus on those who have committed crimes within the United States, as well as “gang members, drug dealers, (…) probably two million, it could even be three million,” he said.
