Employers have become confused by the changing position, as evidenced by the significant drops in worker attendance that have followed immigration raids in the Fashion District of downtown Los Angeles and in some agricultural areas of Ventura County, California.
Following the statement, ICE officials allegedly instructed employees in an internal email to significantly reduce raids and arrests in the hotel, restaurant, and agricultural sectors.
The raids pause, however, seemed brief. Donald Trump completely revoked his earlier policy proposal when he directed agents to carry out the "single largest Mass Deportation Program in History," concentrating on America's biggest cities, nearly all of which are controlled by Democrats, through a Truth Social post, by Sunday.
According to Eric J. Hamelback, chief executive of the National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, the workplace raids appeared to be back on track by Tuesday.
Donald Trump claimed that reputable farmers can hire undocumented workers if they accept responsibility for them.
Raids have impacted farmers and industries that rely on migrants, causing confusion and a shortage of workers.
