Trump admin updates: Trump calls for expanded deportations in LA, NYC and more
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.

White House asked for Air Force Thunderbirds to do flyover at Army parade
The White House has made a last-minute request that the Air Force Thunderbirds fly over the Army's birthday parade on Saturday, according to a U.S. official.
The Army parade already includes flyovers of some 50 Army aircraft, including those used in World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars, along with dozens of Abrams tanks and other vehicles.
The event, which is intended to celebrate soldiers' contributions to America in the past 250 years, has grown considerably in size in recent months, with a parade added after President Donald Trump took office.
Trump shares a birthday with the Army and will turn 79 on Saturday.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump slightly underwater on immigration, voters oppose spending bill: Poll
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.

DOD to reject most of 20,000 troops DHS wants to arrest migrants, official says
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.
