With the US military deployed on the streets of Los Angeles, federal immigration authorities have been conducting sweeping raids across California, arresting people at their homes and at workplaces as part of Donald Trump's promised immigration crackdown.

Agents have apprehended people outside churches, in fields in the California agricultural heartland, in residential Los Angeles neighborhoods and at Home Depot parking lots and car washes. Ice agents have been seen near LA schools, prompting some students and their families to skip graduation events. A woman who was nine months pregnant and a US citizen was detained during a sweep over the weekend.
