ICE Pauses Immigration Arrests at Businesses Amid Labor Shortages
Following concerns from industry leaders, the Trump administration has temporarily halted ICE worksite raids at farms, restaurants, and hotels. This policy shift, reportedly due to the president’s unawareness of the operation’s scale, reflects a significant pivot from the administration’s previously aggressive immigration enforcement stance. The pause aims to mitigate negative economic impacts on these industries heavily reliant on immigrant labor. Despite this, the administration maintains its commitment to deporting “the worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens.
