The report comes after Trump said he would issue an order soon to address the effects of his immigration crackdown on the country's farm and hotel industries, which rely heavily on migrant labor
US President Donald Trump‘s administration has told immigration officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels, and restaurants, the New York Times reported on Friday, June 13.
The report cited an internal email and three US officials with knowledge of the guidance.
“Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants, and operating hotels,” Tatum King, a senior official at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in guidance to regional leaders of the department, the Times added.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the guidance to the Times and said: “We will follow the president’s direction and continue to work to get the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens off of America’s streets.”
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. The White House and the US Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside of regular business hours.
The report comes after Trump said on Thursday, June 12, that he would issue an order soon to address the effects of his immigration crackdown on the country’s farm and hotel industries, which rely heavily on migrant labor.
US farm industry groups have long wanted Trump to spare their sector from mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain dependent on immigrants.
Trump is carrying out his campaign promise to deport immigrants in the country illegally. But protesters and some Trump supporters have questioned the targeting of those who are not convicted criminals, including in places of employment such as those that sparked last week’s protests in Los Angeles. – Rappler.com
