Washington — President Trump on Sunday night directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major metropolitan areas against the Trump administration's immigration policies.

The Trump administration is considering a regulation that would prevent most asylum-seekers from getting work permits.

President Donald Trump said Thursday that changes are coming to his aggressive immigration policies after complaints from farmers and business owners.

The Trump administration is planning to revoke asylum seekers’ ability to work while their claims are being processed, dramatically altering decades of U.S. immigration policy, sources told CBS News.
