It was another busy week in the Trump presidency, with several items of note — from defunding sanctuary cities to restarting a government office to help victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. 

Actions from this week include pauses to Trump's much-anticipated tariff policies and more potential retaliatory actions against states and localities that disregard his policy agenda. The president also made key nominations, including a former pastor, to top positions seeking to promote religious freedom abroad. 

Here are five developments from the Trump administration that unfolded throughout the past week.
