US President Barack Obama is expected to announce details of his executive action on immigration in a Thursday night speech ahead of travel to Las Vegas on Friday, sources close to the administration said.

One source familiar with the White House plan said on Wednesday Obama's action aims to provide relief from the threat of deportation for 5 million undocumented immigrants.

It will also strengthen border security, address high-skilled foreign workers, and expand assistance to undocumented residents brought to the United States as children, the source said.
