(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has told immigration officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, the New York Times reported on Friday. The report cited an internal email and three U.S. officials with knowledge of the guidance.

President Trump said he plans to make changes to his administration's aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration to address worker shortages.
