At the same time, the Trump administration has directed immigration officers to pause arrests at farms, restaurants and hotels, after Trump expressed alarm about the impact aggressive enforcement is having on those industries, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter who spoke only on condition of anonymity.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said the United States must expand efforts to deport people who are illegally in the country, including in cities such as Los Angeles, which has seen protests in opposition to immigration raids.

Demonstrators gathered in communities large and small. Many events on the East Coast have ended, but police clashed with some protesters in L.A.

President Trump ordered National Guard troops to the area after clashes over immigration-enforcement operations.

U.S. President Donald Trump can keep his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, according to a court ruling, as protests against immigration raids look set to enter their second week in the strongest backlash since his return to power in January.
