President Trump, it appears, is incapable of making a decision and sticking to it: First, he had Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and others raiding farms, hotels and restaurants to seize people they thought might be illegal immigrants. Then, late last week, bowing to complaints from farmers and hotel operators, he changed his mind and raids on those establishments stopped. Now, Department of Homeland Security, ICE's parent agency, has told staff to resume the raids.

Trump's flip-flops had led a Financial Times writer to coin the acronym "TACO": – shorthand for Trump Always Chickens Out – something the writer said he later regretted. The phrase was picked up by Democrats who are using it to taunt the President.

The new instructopms were shared in an 11 a.m. call to representatives at 30 field offices across the country, the Washington Post reports. That would have been while Trump was at the G7 meeting in Canada.
