According to an internal email and three US officials with knowledge of the guidance, the Trump administration has abruptly changed the focus of its mass deportation campaign by instructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) officials to largely halt raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels, and restaurants. The choice suggested that the size of President Donald Trump’s large imprisonment strategy is harming businesses and constituents he doesn’t want to lose. Following protests in Los Angeles against the Trump government’s immigration attacks, including those at farms and businesses, came the new direction. Additionally, Trump made a surprisingly clear statement this week that his onslaught was harming American farmers and generosity companies. Tatum King, a top ICE official, sent the instructions to the region’s frontrunners of the office, which typically conducts criminal investigations, including site operations, known as Homeland Security Investigations, in an email on Thursday. Please continue to monitor all workplace protection actions, including those involving restaurants, hotels, and farms that produce meat ( including those that are produced in meat packing factories and farms ). According to the email, “investigations involving human trafficking, money laundering, and drug trafficking into these industries are Okay.” The direction was confirmed by the department of homeland security. According to a spokeswoman,” we will continue to work in accordance with the government’s orders to remove the worst of the worst offender illegal aliens from American streets.”
