Sessions: Trump didn’t make ‘firm commitment’ about deportation in meeting

One of Donald Trump’s top surrogates on Sunday said the Republican presidential nominee had not made a “firm commitment” about whether he would deport immigrants in a meeting with Hispanic leaders.

{mosads}Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Trump is still struggling with how to enact his immigration proposals if elected.

“He’s wrestling with how to do that. People that are here unlawfully, came into the country against our laws, are subject to being removed. That’s just plain fact,” Sessions said. 

“What I’m certain about is that he did not make a firm commitment yesterday, or the meeting the other day, about what he will do with that. But he did listen, and he’s talking about it.” 

Donald Trump’s new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, also declined on Sunday to say whether Trump still backs a deportation force to remove undocumented immigrants. 

“What he supports is to make sure that we enforce the law, that we are respectful of those Americans who are looking for well-paying jobs, and that we are fair and humane for those who live among us in this country,” Conway said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
