Earlier, we reported on Alderman Raymond Lopez - Democratic member of Chicago's legislature - and his proposal to water down the city's status as a so-called sanctuary city.

As a reminder, sanctuary cities have restrictions that prevent local authorities, including police departments, from disclosing or sharing the immigration status of suspects or convicts with immigration officials.

In an interview with the BBC, Lopez says while there were fears in the community of widespread raids on entire neighbourhoods after Trump's orders cracking down on illegal immigrants, yesterday's raids in the city showed otherwise.

"That clearly has not been the case either in the city of Chicago or any of the other cities where these missions have taken place," Lopez says, adding that only "dangerous threats" are being targeted and immigration officers are "trying to be as strategic and surgical as possible".

Lopez believes many in Chicago want the sanctuary law to change, telling our colleagues on the News channel: "They don't believe that we should provide sanctuary and a safe haven for those who choose to engage in some of the most dangerous and heinous crimes that we have on the books."

Chicago welcomes undocumented people who "believe in our country and want to contribute positively", Lopez says, but illegal immigrants who "choose to engage in criminal behaviour" should be swiftly removed.

The Trump administration has told officials to stop allowing immigrants to the US on "parole" programmes and stop extending their status - a move that will impact Ukrainians with US sponsors and Afghan refugees, according to internal documents.

According to the documents obtained by CBS, the BBC's US partner, the move suspends the entry of immigrants through parole processes, including the so-called CHNV process that applies to some Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan migrants - as well as a policy to allow some unaccompanied minors to enter the US.

Last week, we reported that the US moved to halt refugee resettlement programmes.

Under Joe Biden in 2024, the US accepted more than 100,000 refugees - its highest since 1995.

Four thousand deported migrants from the US have arrived in Mexico in the last week - most of whom were Mexican, the country's President Claudia Sheinbaum has said.

Sheinbaum also says that there has not been a "substantial" increase in deportees, following Donald Trump announcing a number of immigration-centred executive orders in a bid to crack down on undocumented migrants.

She confirms people on four flights have been among the total arriving in the country, following a statement from Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt over the weekend claiming that this was a "record" for Mexico in one day.

Previously, Sheinbaum said Mexico had not agreed to Trump's "Remain in Mexico" plan.

Meanwhile, you can read about the US-Colombian row over deportation flights in our earlier post.

Returning to the Donald Trump's ongoing crackdown on immigration, there are reports indicating his administration is looking to arrange for asylum seekers to be deported to El Salvador.

CBS News, the BBC's US partner, reports that under the proposal El Salvador would be deemed a "safe third country" to which US authorities can deport migrants.

Shortly after taking office, Trump spoke to the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, during which "the two leaders discussed working together to stop illegal immigration," the White House reported.

Investors are beginning to question America's dominance in the artificial intelligence (AI) race after a "made in china" model climbed to the top spot of Apple's App Store.

The free assistant, developed by the company DeepSeek, nearly matches the performance of American rivals, like Open AI's ChatGPT, despite using less powerful chips and less data.

The White House won't like it.

Although AI did not feature much on the campaign trail, since taking office Donald Trump has made sure AI was front and centre - signing a number of executive orders aimed at advancing the technology.

And Wall Street is concerned that this shift will reduce demand for AI hardware. As trading began today, shares in leading American chipmaker Nvidia dropped by more than 10 percent, while shares of ASML shares saw significant losses in European markets.

The reassessment comes just ahead of a busy week, with major AI spenders like Microsoft and Meta preparing to report their earnings and update investors.

Shares in major US technology firms have fallen steeply in value after the sudden emergence of a low-cost artificial intelligence chatbot built by a Chinese firm.

The DeepSeek app, which was launched last week, has overtaken rivals including ChatGPT to become the most downloaded free app in the US.

The Reuters news agency reports that the website experienced outages this morning that the company has since said have been resolved.

Shares in microchip giant Nvidia fell 10%, while Microsoft and Meta - the owner of Facebook and Instragram - were also lower in early trading in the US on Monday.

The chatbot was reportedly developed for a fraction of the cost of its rivals, raising questions about the future of the US dominance in AI, as well as the scale of investments US firms are planning the sector.

The reportedly lower development cost is a claim that has been disputed by others in the industry.

Colombian commentators from across the political spectrum reacted with shock and extreme concern to the crisis that for a few hours seemed to threaten their country with a full-blown trade war with the US.

Most analysts predicted this confrontation would have been devastating for the Colombian economy.

Some pundits lamented Trump’s willingness to impose sanctions against a country that for decades had been a steadfast ally of the United States.

But the overwhelming majority of commentators were strongly critical of Colombia’s leftist President Gustavo Petro.

Many expressed disbelief that Petro would have been willing to escalate the dispute over deportee flights, dramatically confronting the White House in a series of long-winded social media posts, only to retreat hours later in what many described as a humiliating capitulation to Trump.

JD Vance has alleged, without evidence, that there were "double standards" in the sentencing of the January 6 defendants compared with "other groups".

During an interview with our US partner CBS News, the vice-president was quizzed over the pardons issued for those who had committed acts of violence during the 2021 Capitol riot.

In response, Vance claimed the Justice Department had "denied constitutional protections in the prosecutions".

As a reminder, Trump issued a blanket pardon for almost 1,600 people who had been arrested for their role in the riot.

In his first interview since taking office, Vance also backed Trump's moves on immigration.

Asked specifically about immigrant arrests near churches and schools, the vice-president said: "I desperately hope it has a chilling effect…on illegal immigrants coming into our country."

President Trump is expected to sign three executive orders today, all related to the US military.

A White House official confirmed to CBS - the BBC's US partner - that one of the orders directs the Department of Defense (DoD) to determine a policy regarding transgender service members in the military.

A second order bans the use of race or sex-based preferences in the military, as well as removing any remaining diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) bureaucracy within the DoD or Department of Homeland Security.

The order also directs officials to review the curricula at US service academies.

The third executive order reinstates any servicemembers who were discharged for refusing to receive Covid-19 vaccinations.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has told the Texas Military Department - which includes the state's National Guard forces - to send additional forces to help with Trump's plans to shut down the southern border to undocumented immigration.

In a statement, the governor's office said 400 members of the state's "Tactical Border Force" would deploy from Houston and Forth Worth to the Rio Grande Valley, along with transport aircraft and helicopters.

They will join "thousands" of Texas National Guard troops already in the region.

Yesterday, Abbott also tweeted that additional floating buoys have been placed in the Rio Grande separating Texas from Mexico, expanding a programme that has already existed in the Eagle Pass area for several years.

Earlier in January, I travelled to the Rio Grande Valley, where many locals told me they are supportive of efforts to shut down the border to undocumented migrants.

"Immigration is essentially...but the right way," said David Porras, a rancher and botanist in Rio Grande City. "With Trump, we're going to do it correctly."

Pete Hegseth, Trump's defence secretary, has spoken with media outside the Pentagon ahead of his first day on the job.

He says more executive orders from the president are coming today, and says they will involve "removing DEI" inside the Pentagon, and reinstating troops who were pushed out because of Covid mandates.

He also says there will be an update on installing an Iron Dome for America - that's the air defence system Israel has repeatedly used to counter missile and drone attacks.

DEI refers to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). President Trump has banned such programmes throughout the government.

Hegseth also spoke of the Pentagon's involvement in Trump's immgration crackdown. He says the defence force will "absolutely contiinue" to support mass deportation efforts.

The Trump administration is claiming a victory over the Colombian government after a back-and-forth over deportation flights. Here's how it all went down:

• On Sunday morning, Colombian President Gustavo Petro stopped two US military planes from landing. They were carrying Colombians deported from the US
• On social media, Petro said "the US can't treat Colombian migrants like criminals" and demanded they be "treated with dignity" - he offered to send a presidential plane to transport the migrants instead
• The Trump administration responded by threatening to slap immediate punitive tariffs of 25% on Colombian exports to the US
• On social media, Trump said he had also imposed a travel ban and revoked the visas of Colombian government officials and threatened to raise the tariffs to 50% if Colombia did not comply within a week, warning that "these measures are just the beginning"
• Petro responded by saying: "Your blockade does not scare me." Meanwhile, members of Petro's administration worked behind the scenes to defuse the spat
• Then, in a late-night news conference, Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo announced that the two countries had "overcome the impasse" and that Colombia would accept returned citizens

Good morning from the White House, where we're so far having a very quiet, cold morning while President Trump is away.

He's currently in Florida, where he flew on Saturday after a whirlwind trip to North Carolina and California, where he surveyed the destruction from deadly wildfires that devastated several communities in the Los Angeles area earlier this month.

Later today, he's expected to meet with Republican lawmakers at his property in Doral, Florida.

He's likely to make public remarks in the afternoon.

He's due back at the White House tonight.

Stay with us for more updates.

There’s been a lot of press focus on President Trump’s promise of high-profile raids and deportations of undocumented immigrants accused of serious crimes.

As the TV footage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials handcuffing suspects begins to emerge on the US networks, the political messaging behind it suggests that this marks a new chapter of tough executive action.

In reality, all administrations have continued to carry out deportations, external of immigrants embroiled in the criminal justice system, including the last one.

In Chicago, one of the cities singled out as a primary target of Trump-era action, an interesting debate has emerged.

It is a so-called sanctuary city, those places where Democratic politicians have passed restrictions preventing – to various degrees - their local police forces from disclosing or sharing the immigration status of suspects or convicts with ICE.

Those policies have long made such cities a target of Trump’s ire.

In the face of the threats of targeted action, one Democratic member of Chicago’s legislature has proposed a compromise.

Alderman Raymond Lopez tabled an amendment that would water-down the sanctuary law there, allowing the Chicago Police Department to work with federal authorities in cases where undocumented immigrants have been arrested or convicted of the most serious crimes, including human trafficking, drug offences and sexual crimes involving minors.

We have some more details for you on the nationwide immigration crackdown which resulted in the arrest of 956 people.

It is the most since Donald Trump returned to power, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

A number of federal agencies with newly expanded detention powers were involved in the raids in a number of cities including Chicago, Newark, New Jersey, and Miami.

Since taking office, Trump has carried out 21 executive actions to overhaul the US immigration system.

An unnamed man told CBS News, external, the BBC's US news partner, that ICE took his wife during on the Miami raids this weekend.

"It's despicable what they're doing right now," he told CBS. "It's very embarrassing."

He said his wife was in the process of getting citizenship when ICE arrived: "They just came and they snatched her."

Last week, Newark Mayor Ras Barka said undocumented residents and citizens - including one military veteran - were detained without a warrant during an ICE raid of a local business.

Hello and welcome back to our live coverage of US politics, where the Trump administration is entering its second week.

It was a whirlwind first week dominated by President Trump signing executive orders across a broad range of issues.

One of the main issues his administration is focused on is immigration. And that's where we will start today's coverage.

We have learned that there were 956 arrests made on Sunday as part of Trump's immigration crackdown.

His predecessor Joe Biden carried out an average of 311 immigration deportations daily, according to ICE, external, mostly individuals who had committed crimes.

Stick with us, we'll be bringing you the latest updates and analysis on immigration, and all the other talking points on what is sure to be another big day in US politics.

It's been a whirlwind week since Donald Trump returned to the White House, and today was no exception. The Republican president once again made waves with his policy shake-ups at home and abroad - including a major spat with Colombia, a close US ally.

Here's a look at the highlights:

• Trade and immigration spat with Colombia: The president announced he would impose a 25% tariff on all goods coming to the US from Colombia as part of a raft of sanctions to punish the country for turning away two US military flights carrying deported migrants. Colombia's President Gustavo Petro said he was concerned about the migrants treatment, but his efforts to appease Trump appear to have failed. He has since struck a defiant tone and promised to retaliate with tariffs
• Trump administration begins immigration raids: Deportation raids - a Trump campaign promise - have begun. Immigration authorities said they had carried out "targeted" arrests in Chicago and in other parts of the country. Trump's border czar said on Sunday that Congress should increase funding for the border effort, which included a need for 100,000 migrant detention centre beds
• Disagreement over Capitol riot pardons: Several Trump loyalists, including Vice-president JD Vance, spent Sunday defending Trump's ambitious first week. In a reversal, Vance has said he supported the blanket pardon and commutation of the 6 January Capitol rioters convicted of violent crimes. That same move has garnered increasing pushback from Democrats. A group of senior lawmakers indicated they would seek to pass a resolution formally condemning the pardons on Monday in an effort to force Republicans to make their position on the orders public
• Trump calls for US control of Greenland and Canada: On the international front, Trump renewed his appeal for Denmark to hand over control of Greenland. "I think we're going to have it," he told the BBC. He also doubled down on his suggestion that Canada become a US state, as he said it would allow them to avoid tariffs
• Neighbours should take in Palestinians, Trump says: The US president also expressed his desire for Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza in an effort to "just clean out that whole thing". He said the moves "could be temporary" or "long-term", and that he had already spoken to Jordan's King Abdullah Il about his idea and planned to speak to Egypt's president about it as well

We are going to pause our live coverage for now. Here is more on the spat between the US and Colombia, and you can find more information about Trump's effort to have Gaza's neighbours take in Palestinians here.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro's spat with Trump is the first with a foreign government since the new American administration began its crack down on immigration.

In his first week in office, Trump has signed executive orders declaring a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, instructing the military to "seal the borders", denying the right to citizenship to the children of migrants either in the US illegally or on temporary visas and reinstating his "Remain in Mexico" policy from his first term.

US Immigration authorities announced on Saturday that they had begun "targeted operations today in Chicago", which had been anticipated since Trump's return to the White House.

Earlier today, we heard from Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan who said at least 100,000 beds are needed for the deportation of undocumented migrants.

He urged Congress to provide the funding to secure the border as soon as possible.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro's remarks on respecting the dignity of Colombians came after Brazil's foreign office (Itamaraty) said its citizens returning on US deportation flights had experienced “degrading treatment".

They said individuals deported to Brazil had had their wrists and ankles handcuffed for the duration of the flight.

The "indiscriminate" use of handcuffs and chains violated the terms of agreement between the two countries, Itamaraty said.

The flight was administered by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Brazil's foreign office said.

The BBC reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.

In an effort to stave off the sweeping sanctions and tariffs from the Trump administration, the Colombian government has offered to arrange the return of migrants using their presidential plane, a senior administration official told CBS News, the BBC's US partner.

But the offer is not enough to stop the White House from taking action, the official said, adding negotiations were still ongoing.

The White House is currently preparing documents for President Trump's signature so the retaliatory actions can be implemented this evening.
