Federal prosecutors made the surprising announcement on the eve of a Tuesday hearing in federal court in Riverside, California.

The hearing has been canceled.

Trump says during an interview on CNN that he wants to "get people from that part of the world to put up the troops." But during a recent GOP debate, Trump said he would "listen to the generals," who were suggesting the 20,000 to 30,000 number.
