The Trump administration authorized federal immigration agents to arrest undocumented immigrants in churches, schools and hospitals.

President Donald Trump's administration has directed U.S. prosecutors to criminally probe local officials who resist immigration enforcement efforts, intensifying a sweeping crackdown that Trump launched the day he took office.
