Donald Trump is attending a fundraiser in Colorado on Thursday but will not make a speech on immigration, his campaign now says, despite national media reports announcing the event.

Lydia Blaha, a spokeswoman for Trump’s campaign in Colorado, said he will not hold an event in coordination with the fundraising trip, as first reported by Univision and other media outlets. The campaign was exploring a Denver-area location for the event, but later reversed course. The campaign told supporters in an email “the speech (Trump) was planning on giving is still being modified.”

Trump’s comments about immigration generated significant attention in recent days and is a major issue in Colorado, where Latinos represent about 20 percent of the population and roughly 15 percent of the voters.

Trump’s hard-line stances on immigration — particularly his proposal to deport as many as 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally and linking immigrants to crime — is being credited for hurting his numbers in Colorado, where he trails Democrat Hillary Clinton by double-digits in multiple polls.

But he appears willing to revisit his position, according to multiple national media reports, after meeting with Hispanic leaders Saturday. Trump told Fox News on Monday that he is “not flip-flopping” but is exploring how to find a “really fair, but firm” plan to address illegal immigration.
