President Donald Trump has pledged to target "the worst of the worst" as he moves to deport millions of people from the U.S.

President Donald Trump has granted federal immigration agents "total authorization" to defend themselves following clashes with protesters during a recent enforcement operation at a cannabis farm in California.

In a marked reversal from a year ago, more Americans now have positive views about immigration, and a record high believes it is good for the nation.

A Gallup poll shows a substantial jump in the share of Americans who view immigration as positive for the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office.

ICE agents last month arrested the most people in at least five years, but deportations are still lagging far behind what President Donald Trump has promised.

Trump proposed that Congress provide $11.3 billion for ICE, an increase over its current $10 billion. The FBI’s budget request is $10.1 billion; a reduction of $545 million and of at least 1,500 positions, including about 700 that are vacant, according to a June Justice Department budget and performance summary .

U.S. President Donald Trump has stepped up arrests of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, cracked down on unlawful border crossings and stripped legal status from hundreds of thousands of migrants since January 20.

His complaint alleges he was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted and smeared as an anti-Semite. He said he either wants $20 million or an apology from the administration.

New polling from Gallup shows record-high support for immigration, potentially complicating the president’s strongly anti-immigration policy.
