In the days before protests erupted in Los Angeles, the Trump administration stepped up its efforts to detain migrants — taking into custody those who arrived for routine check-ins while also conducting workplace raids that have sent waves of fear across Southern California and beyond.

A new Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll of voters (mostly in Massachusetts but also including New Hampshire and Rhode Island) found a 53%-41% majority opposing the Trump administration's drive to deport immigrants here illegally.

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV has called for priests, deacons and parish leaders to accompany migrants to court and stand in solidarity with them.

The Department of Homeland Security on Thursday told hundreds of thousands of migrants that their permission to live in the United States had been revoked and they should leave.

Protests against President Trump's deportation policies have divided Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill and across the country. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, praised the President's decision to deploy the National Guard in California.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he would issue an immigration order "soon," following a social media post earlier on Thursday in which he cited labor issues in the farm and hotel industries stemming from his immigration crackdown.

President Trump’s statement suggested his sweeping policies were alienating industries he wants to keep in his corner.

The president signaled an opening to protect migrant workers in agriculture and hospitality, in statements an official said sought to soothe industry leaders.
