A new report suggests the Trump Administration could be shifting its stance on immigration enforcement in agriculture.
The Washington Post reports the Administration’s reversal of prior plans to exclude farm workers from the deportation process.
The report cites unnamed sources within Homeland Security, who say farms, hotels, and restaurants will again be targets for inspection. DHS Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin released a statement saying there will be “no safe spaces” for employers hiring undocumented workers, calling the raids essential for public safety and labor stability.
This comes following comments from the President last week supporting the longtime farm and hospitality workers.
