ICE officials received instructions to cease operations targeting undocumented workers in sectors like agriculture, hospitality, and restaurants, as per an email from senior ICE official Tatum King. This shift aligns with President Trump’s directive, which expressed concerns from industries that rely heavily on these workers. Although enforcement against serious crimes continues, such as human trafficking, agents were instructed not to arrest non-criminal undocumented individuals. This policy adjustment highlights the reliance on undocumented labor in various sectors and seeks to alleviate worker shortages.
Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture... restaurants and operating hotels... investigations involving human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are OK.
Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business... have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them.
