Delay in Immigration Raids May Signal Policy Change -- Change in timing? Damn. Do you to tip them off about a pending raid?
From The Washington Post:
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has delayed a series of proposed immigration raids and other enforcement actions at U.S. workplaces in recent weeks, asking agents in her department to apply more scrutiny to the selection and investigation of targets as well as the timing of raids, federal officials said.
A senior department official said the delays signal a pending change in whom agents at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement choose to prosecute -- increasing the focus on businesses and executives instead of ordinary workers.

I favor enforcement of our immigration laws but targeting the employers of illegal aliens makes sense. Withouts jobs, it is doubtful that many undocumented workers would stick around for long.
