The Department of Homeland Security on Thursday told hundreds of thousands of migrants that their permission to live in the United States had been revoked and they should leave.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he would issue an immigration order "soon," following a social media post earlier on Thursday in which he cited labor issues in the farm and hotel industries stemming from his immigration crackdown.
