ICE Resumes Raids on Farms, Hotels & Restaurants After Brief Halt—Shocking Crackdown Returns!
The Trump administration is reportedly reversing its earlier guidance to pause immigration enforcement at sectors like farms, hotels, and restaurants.
Homeland Security officials directed leadership on Monday to restart raids in these industries, which employ a significant number of undocumented workers, after a brief halt, according to sources including the Washington Post and CNN.
President Trump took to Truth Social Thursday, noting that the crackdown was impacting farming and hospitality sectors severely.
On the same day, ICE agents nationwide were instructed to “please hold on all enforcement operations targeting agriculture, restaurants, and hotels,” according to reports including the New York Times.
President Trump highlighted the impact, tweeting that “Jobs near farms and hotels are nearly impossible to fill due to our strict immigration policies.”
Trump warned, “We must protect our farmers, but also remove criminals from the country. Changes are imminent.”
Meanwhile, officials like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem urged ICE to meet a daily arrest target of 3,000, emphasizing that “nationwide enforcement is a top priority,” as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Homeland Security officials state that ICE agents’ performance will be measured daily by arrests made, stressing that “failure is not an option,” and that worksite enforcement remains central to their deportation efforts.
They also clarified that industries harboring criminals or actively undermining ICE operations will face consequences, with no “safe zones” for illegal activities.
