Biden's Campaign Reverses And Says He's Supporting A Moratorium On Deportations
The idea that Biden would halt deportations spread among immigrant advocates this week,was initially denied by the campaign,
and then later affirmed.
Joe Biden is supporting an absolute moratorium on deportations of anyone in the United States for his first 100 days in office if he wins the presidency something his campaign denied he was supporting earlier on Saturday after immigrant advocates said they had been led to believe that was his new position.
The statement is an explicit reversal of a statement just hours before, when a Biden adviser told BuzzFeed News that characterizing recent comments from Biden as supporting a moratorium "is inaccurate."
Another spokesperson for the group confirmed to BuzzFeed News on Friday night that their understanding was that this was a change of policy from Biden, and that he had announced that shift in position publicly for the first time at the CNN town hall.
Immigrant rights advocate Jess Morales Rocketto, who initially congratulated Latino Victory Fund and Macías for getting the campaign to shift their stance on a moratorium, said on learning that the campaign denied that theres been a change in policy, The vice president keeps taking courageous stances and then walking away from them.
