LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- President Trump is calling for even more expanded deportation operations in several major cities across the country, including Los Angeles.
Trump in a social media posting called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials "to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History."
The moves comes after large protests erupted in L.A. and other major cities against the Trump administration's immigration policies.
So far, it's not known how exactly that will impact L.A. But Sunday, at the president's directions, the Department of Homeland Security said it would pause most raids on farms, restaurants and hotels.
The Trump administration has continued widespread immigration enforcement activities -- with a reported goal of up to 3,000 deportations per day.
The Los Angeles Police Department has arrested 575 people related to protest activity since they started earlier this month, police said Sunday, including 14 for looting.
Last week, President Donald Trump deployed 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 Marines to tamp down the disruptive demonstrations while the immigration raids continue.
A federal court hearing is set for Tuesday to determine whether Trump or California Gov. Gavin Newsom will control future National Guard activity going forward. Newsom challenged Trump's decision to federalize the Guard, an action U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco said in a ruling last week did not follow congressionally mandated procedure.
His ruling was stayed by a three-judge appellate panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in response to a Trump administration notice of appeal, temporarily keeping the National Guard troops under federal control, at least through Tuesday.

There are now more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than in Iraq and Syria.
There are 4,800 activated Guard and Marine personnel in LA, compared to the 2,500 troops in Iraq and 1,500 in Syria.
A reporter from CNN who has been reporting on the unrest in Los Angeles became part of the story for a brief time Monday night.
Video shows the moment CNN National Correspondent Jason Carroll was escorted away from the scene of the protesting in downtown.
It's unclear why he was taken away and detained.
Carroll was eventually released, but two members of his camera crew were arrested.
He was warned that if he went back to that particular scene, he would also be arrested.
Gov. Gavin Newsom said he's filed an emergency motion to block Pres. Trump's deployment of Marines and National Guardsmen, saying the president's actions were illegal and are "turning the U.S. military against American citizens."
"The courts must immediately block these illegal actions," Newsom wrote on social media.

During a news conference Tuesday morning, Mayor Karen Bass said the Los Angeles Police Department is setting up a unified command to handle all Southern California police agencies that have come in to help secure downtown.
She said she'll be meeting with LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell later in the day to discuss possibly implementing a curfew.
It's unclear if that decision will be made Tuesday.
