Trump ordered ICE "to do all in their power" to achieve deportation goals.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to ABC News that it issued new guidance to pause most raids on farms, restaurants, and hotels, after President Trump earlier this week shifted his stance on targeting undocumented workers in those industries.
Meanwhile, a massive military parade to mark the Army's 250th birthday will be underway Saturday in Washington, D.C.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told ABC News that he will not attend President Donald Trump's military parade this weekend.
"No, I have to be home for family business. We are moving from our family home. We downsized, so I gotta do that, unfortunately," he said.

A Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters published Wednesday found that a slim majority of voters oppose the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” policy and funding bill promoted by the White House, although around 1 in 5 don’t know enough about the bill.
When registered voters were asked if they support or oppose the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 27% said they supported, 53% oppose and 20% did not know or didn't answer.
Separately, the poll found slightly negative approval ratings for how President Donald Trump is handling immigration and deportations. This poll was conducted before protests broke out on June 6 in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement actions.
When asked if they approve or disapprove of how Trump is handling immigration issues, 43% approve, 54% disapprove and 3% didn't know.

Most of the 20,000 U.S. troops requested by the Department of Homeland Security to round up and detain undocumented migrants are expected to be rejected by the Defense Department because of concerns that it could violate the law, according to a U.S. official.
In a May 9 memo, a top DHS official asked the Pentagon to approve the massive military footprint inside the U.S. to help law enforcement track, detain and transport migrants.
According to the memo, DHS wants 10,000 military personnel to help with transporting migrants, 3,500 personnel to track fugitives inside the U.S., 2,500 to help detain people for immigration, and 1,000 for administration purposes. Another 4,000 would be used for various missions, including searching for unaccompanied migrant children in “remote or hostile terrain.”
Such a move is widely seen by legal experts as in violation of Posse Comitatus, the 1878 law that prohibits a president from using troops for law enforcement purposes.
When asked for comment, a Defense Department spokesperson said the request remains under review.

What was President Trump's response to Musk's statement?
"The president acknowledged the statement Musk put out and he's appreciative of it," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at Wednesday's briefing. "And we are continuing to focus on the business of the American people."
