Moreover, US law enforcement advised not to give notice before implementing an executive order barring immigration from seven countries, President Donald Trump told an audience at the Major Cities Police Chiefs Association Conference on Wednesday.
"I said, ‘Let’s give a one-month notice,’" Trump stated. "But the law enforcement people said to me, ‘Oh, you can’t give a notice, because if you give a notice that you’re going to be tough one month from now, or in one week from now…because then people are going to pour in before the toughness.’"
