After early reprieve from immigration enforcement, farming industry reckons with raids
Briefly

President Trump pledged to protect agricultural workers following federal immigration raids targeting farms and meatpacking plants, which employ many individuals without legal status. The Trump administration's mixed signals about the safety of these workers heightened fears in the agriculture community, particularly after over 70 arrests at a Nebraska meatpacking plant. While Trump suggested a solution for farmers, his administration simultaneously emphasized strict enforcement of immigration laws, leading to uncertainty and anxiety among the workforce reliant on these jobs.
There's been rumors here and there after the new administration started, people would have fear that maybe something like this could happen.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have, maybe not.
Individuals who want to work and unfortunately got caught up in the raid.
Anyone without legal status has to leave or risk being arrested.
