The Trump administration has told immigration agents to stop making arrests on farms, restaurants and hotels about losing employees who hurts industries, according to a report.
CBS News reported on the shift in the industry policy that depends on migrating employees. Civil servants noted that many employees in those industries are without documentation in the US according to the report.
The decision is because the Trump government has increased the efforts to make more arrests and prepare migrants for deportation. Scenes of immigration, customs and enforcement products that hold migrants in fields and carwashing have dominated the headlines last week.
The peak in ice raids on migrants led to protests in Los Angeles and other cities throughout America. Violence in protests has led the Trump government to use the National Guard in California. Governor Gavin Newsom raged over the use of American troops in a city and the decisions led to a series of legal challenges.
For the time being, Washington can continue to use military members to protect ice officers and suppress protests.
The ordered decrease in arrests on farms and hospitality workplaces shows the worries that President Donald Trump’s deportation will harm the cases and the US economy, according to the CBS report.
A source told the outlet valve that Trump was not aware of the scale of the ice operation, which led to a shift in enforcement.
“When it touched him, he withdrew it,” said the source CBS.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security told CBS: “We will follow the direction of the president and continue to work to get the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from the streets of America.”
Earlier in the week the president went to social media to discuss the removal of hospitality workers.
“Our big farmers and people in the hotel and leisure company have stated that our very aggressive policy towards immigration takes away very good, long-time employees, whereby those jobs are almost impossible to replace,” the president wrote about truth social.
About 40 percent of crop employees and 90 percent of meat processing and dairy workers are employees born abroad, according to estimates.
Trump had talked about allowing migrants in hospitality fields to seduce themselves and then return as legal employees. But that was before the increase in ice raids and arrests that have been seen in recent weeks.
“So a farmer will come in with a letter about certain people, saying they are great, they work hard,” Trump said during a cabinet meeting in April. “We are going to slow it down a bit for them, and then we will eventually bring them back. They go outside. They come back as legal employees.”
Now the Trump team wants to slow down ice arrests on those fields.
In general, from the beginning of June more than 51,000 migrants are in ice detention centers, according to NBC News. Less than 30 percent of those who are being held have criminal convictions.
