Reversal comes days after president posted on Truth Social his ‘very aggressive’ raids were hurting farmers and hotels
Donald Trump has abandoned his brief immigration and customs enforcement (Ice) reprieve for farm and hotel workers, ordering the agency’s raids in those sectors to resume after hardliners crushed a pause that lasted just four days.
The whiplash reversal, first reported by the Washington Post, exposes the dysfunction gripping the president’s deportation agenda, where competing advisers battle over policy while Trump lurches between contradictory positions.
With more farm subsidies no doubt. And probably only for the corporate farms, not the family farms that actually need it after Trump deports all their legal migrant workers.
