A U.S. Justice Department memo this week made clear that federal prosecutors should investigate and potentially prosecute local and state officials who interfere with immigration enforcement, a key element of President Donald Trump’s new administration.

Donald Trump is leaning on agencies besides Immigration and Customs Enforcement to help execute his promise of carrying out mass deportations.

An estimated 11.7 million people are living in the U.S. illegally, and ICE currently has the budget to detain only about 41,000.

The locations expected to be targeted by deportation teams from ICE include those with large populations of immigrants, one source said.

About 87% of the Central Washington community of Sunnyside identifies as either Hispanic or Latino, according to 2024 U.S. Census estimates. It’s situated in the middle Yakima Valley, an agriculture mecca that produces a bulk of the region’s hops, asparagus and fresh fruit exports.

The Trump administration has ordered 1,500 U.S. military troops to the southern border as part of a crackdown on undocumented migrants.

The Laken Riley Act will now go to Trump's desk and symbolically will become the first measure he signs into law of his second administration.

Schools try to calm parents’ fears and keep their kids in school after Trump eases the way for immigration enforcement at schools.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has already begun arresting illegal immigrants from coast to coast in the first few days of President Donald Trump's administration.

The Trump administration has not publicly said how many immigration detention beds it needs to achieve its goals, or what the cost will be.

Under the legislation, federal authorities would be required to detain any migrant arrested or charged with crimes like shoplifting.
