The Trump administration intensified efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, making U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a central focus.

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 Trump administration authorized U.S. Marshals, DEA and Bureau of Prisons officers to conduct immigration enforcement.

The Phoenix Union High School District declared itself on Friday a "safe zone" for all students "regardless of citizenship status."

Trump signing the order on Day 1 is "testing the outer limits of executive branch power in the immigration sphere," Erin Corcoran, executive director of Notre Dame University’s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, said.

The first of potentially many St. Louis area protests over new ICE deportation measures started Saturday as the volume on a national conversation was turned up.

Trump campaigned largely on the issue of immigration, promising to carry out mass deportations of roughly 11 million illegal immigrants currently in the U.S.

The protest and march, which had been rescheduled from Monday due to frigid temperatures, were put on by a coalition of more than 65 groups advocating for LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights.

With President Donald Trump's administration getting into swing, immigration lawyers are preparing for changes to the immigration system.

New Jersey officials are raising questions after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers raided a Newark business on Thursday just days into President Donald Trump's second administration.
