Immigration raids have been taking place across the US since President Donald Trump entered office – as he aims to deliver on his promise to launch “the largest deportation programme” in the country’s history.

The tactics being used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, and other federal agencies have led to protests.

BBC Verify has gathered more than 70 videos to track how Trump’s crackdown has unfolded so far – as Jake Horton explains.
